In a special (& long) episode of The Breakdown, Gideon talks about the fight over voting rights in the U.S. and is joined by Ethan and Alejandro. This is the first time we recorded a show via Zoom and we apologize for any quality issues with the audio, we are working them out. We are sad to say that because the coronavirus (COVID-19) is shutting down lots of places across the country and at Arizona State, we were left with no choice but to suspend the Blaze Radio live show for the rest of the academic year. The Review still lives though and we will continue making podcast episodes for the time being. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com.

In our first podcast exclusive episode, the panel took a break from our normal routine to do an extended version of Dorm Dispatches. John and Ethan were away as we talked about ourselves and gave hot takes mostly based off of some questions Haley and Gideon put together. This episode aired live on Periscope Monday night (3/2) and the video is on our Twitter. Normally, The Review airs live on blazeradioonline.com every Friday at 8pm MST. Regular episodes will resume in two weeks, on Friday 3/20. Announcement: watch out for a podcast exclusive episode of The Breakdown talking about voting rights coming to you next week.
