P's in a Pod

“Princeton” and “music” are often spoken in the same sentence when talking about our guest in today’s episode: Sam Spector! If you haven’t heard her music before, check her out using the links below and wait until the end of the episode to hear a spinnet of one of her songs! Jani, our in-house musician, also joins, and she, Ava, and Susan draft with Sam their favorite female artists of 2021. The group also discusses Sam’s recent musical successes. Speaking of which, GO SEE HER PERFORM LIVE AT TERRACE ON THE 16TH! The categories of this draft include 3 different genres, 1 wildcard, and 1 “underrated” category. It’s clear that all four women have different music tastes (though there is some overlap) so we’ll be interested to see which dinner table y’all vote as the most interesting. Susan is still salty that Nathan won against her in our last draft. Go follow us on Insta @psinapod to stay tuned for the vote!

Meet Vignesh Panchanatham: Princeton junior from Cupertino, CA. Vignesh sits down with Nathan as they consider where they see their future selves, discussing the merits of city versus suburb and whether they would send their children to private or public school. As an avid cook and baker, he plans out a hypothetical dinner party itinerary "Come Dine With Me"-style, beginning with appetizers and ending with dessert plus entertainment.  He also shares tips for prospective chess players, an explanation of ultimate frisbee and its similarities (or lack thereof?) to netball, and how he goes about maintaining an inbox with no more than 10 emails on any given day.
