After becoming a video game that defined a generation, the Minecraft Movie has comeback into the limelight through the big screen. Since Minecraft has been a pivotal piece of the lives that work at The Prospector, we had to dedicate TWO segments to the movie! 

Yet, we can't ignore how hard lucha libre has been hitting El Paso. As to start this episode, we talk about how Cinta De Oro, formerly known as Sin Cara in the WWE, has been combining different wrestling styles from the whole globe!

In 2015 a group of UTEP students launched the first episode of The Prospector Podcast, revolutionizing the way student opinions can be communicated, and shared throughout the Miner Community.   

This month, episode six was dedicated to celebrating all individuals who have pioneered podcasting at UTEP. We hear from former hosts who have carried this show for over a decade, share the staff’s first impressions of each other, and catch up on co-host Cam Mason!

It's evident that the music industry has changed drastically over the 2000s, but in that time span, has pop music been left behind? 

Or better yet, what even constitutes pop music? Well, thanks to those in The Prospector who truly know about contemporary tunes, we answer those questions! 

Plus! The hero of Wrestling is a hero no more. We break down John Cena's turn to the dark side, aka a "heel" turn, and discuss what it means for the future of the WWE. 

And we can't ignore spring break! As during that week, those in the office decided to take a group hike.

The 915 just saw the edition of a new attraction, Cinemark's Gamescape! Maybe it's recency bias, but the belief over whether Gamescape can take over El Paso as it's premier entertainment destination is what we discuss in today's episode! 

Since we need to get all aspects, today's discussion it topped off with some slap sauce! 

We also, talk about Cafe Piro, one of the most unique coffee shops in Texas, and highlight teams who we think can be bracket busters in March Madness!

It'd be a crime to ignore the end of a franchise 40 years in the making! At least, the end of a story for all the characters in Cobra Kai.

Plus, our boss / EIC Avery Escamilla-Wendell joins us to speak about puppies, and life updates! Sorry Cam 

On the topic of movies, we put a spotlight on UTEP's own movie club as they spread films that students may not know a-lot about!

Hopping off the lyrics of Kendrick Lamar, there's no podcast like us! 

For the second episode of The Prospector Podcast Season 12, we talk about how shocking Super Bowl 59 was for the result on the field, and the different performance we got from the halftime show. 

Plus, a new Spider-Man series is out! We need to know if it's amazing. One thing that can't disappoint, is the Jazz scene around El Paso, Texas!
