Re:PVPA

Would you buy a theatre-scented candle? Maybe not, according to podcast guests Jenna and Ashleigh. Together with the host Austin, they work to decide some big questions posted by the community. Harry Potter or Percy Jackson? French fries or tater tots? Controversy abounds in this episode, even before they get to almond cows (for almond milk, obviously). Tune in for banter, weird news, stories about speaking to snakes.

In a special technology-themed episode, host Isaac talks with guests Owen and "professor" Garrett about exciting new technologies of the future! If you're interested in Dyson Spheres, the privacy implications of facial recognition, or the environmental impact of Bitcoin, the group has plenty of information and opinions to share with you. On the other hand, they also fail to define matter and try to design a Elon Musk branded cologne...so there's that. But at the end the tackle a listener poll about important emerging technologies to conclude that sustainability is key to all fields and that it truly does come back to sailboats all the way down.

A podcast so strange and chill that only astrology can explain it. Or maybe that's just PVPA. Guest Jen (the theatre teacher) and Will (the classically-named 9th grader) are on Re:PVPA to help Austin (the librarian) answer pressing questions about movies, seeing the future, and knife-wielding squirrels. Along the way, Jen admits that she played golf in high school gym class, Will confesses that voluntarily had cake thrown in his face, and Austin lets on that The Lord of the Rings is not his favorite romantic comedy. At the end, they rate breakup texts on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, because of course the PVPA community would choose the most awkward thing to make people talk about on a podcast.

Welcome to Sound Stage, presented by Re:PVPA! Sound Stage is a mini-series within the podcast where student work is performed, discussed, and reflected on by its creators.

In this first episode, middle school students Andrew, Logan, Zoey, Mason, and Alex talk with their teacher, Emma, and Austin, the librarian, about the process of creating an Emotional Memory Monologue as part of their larger Auto Drama project. Through the conversation, students perform their monologues and talk about the challenges of writing, memory, and acting. Tune in for dramatic readings, thoughtful memories, and some amazing student reflection!

To start with, there are monoliths which may or may not be advertisements, may or may not only exist in 2020, and may or may not be built by sheep. From there, Andie introduces Austin and Jessi to New Year's music, which preps them to answer some hard questions with some hard truths - like why, exactly, you haven't received your Hogwarts letter and how birds get rid of nitrogenous waste. Along the way, Andie waxes philosophically about math, Jessi reminds us all to stay hydrated, and Austin suggests livestreaming your blobfish. So buckle up folks, because this episode, like soup, is a magical journey.

On the first ever episode of Re:PVPA Austin, Frank, and Mary take to the soundwaves to answer some "important" questions from the PVPA community and bring you breaking news stories...about swans? In addition, it is revealed that Mary REALLY dislikes orange juice, Frank loves Asian food, and Austin has news about water fountains. The group also discusses how music helps our moods and why people would time-travel to 2020.
