In this episode we’ll highlight several things about the 2022 Stinger Spectacular on Oct. 14 & 15. However, if you’re getting to this episode after those dates, there’s still some great discussion of interest, and some fun to listen in on 😃. First we’ll start by interviewing the Vice President of Alumni Relations, Dr. Kalie Lowrie, about Stinger Spectacular. Next we’ll be joined by two cast members in The Sound of Music who will talk to us about this weekend’s production. We’ll go from that to our sports segment with Jason where he’ll discuss this Saturday’s Football game. And, lastly, we’ll wrap the episode up with Campus Buzz. Be sure to stick around for the end, because we have an important announcement about a new way students can contribute to The Sting going forward.

.

*Note: Ben misspoke when he said he’d been “sneaking around hearing The Sound of Music rehearsals,” he meant he’d heard some cast members practicing their music, and this was like a “sneak peek” - he hasn’t been breaking into closed rehearsals 😂.
