The Art of the Podcast: Society & Culture

Cannabitties

This is a podcast about all things cannabis. Your hosts, Lydia Herne and Annabeth Mann have been friends since their freshman year of college, and have been fascinated by cannabis ever since they were teens getting high in their parent's basements. Since the green rush began in 2012 when recreational marijuana was first legalized in Colorado and Washington, bud has been on everyone's mind. And though cannabis is one of the most popular drugs in the U.S., it's still wildly under-researched because of its outdated classification as a schedule I drug. Cannabitties is here to investigate and discuss the many questions we have about the cannabis industry. From questionable gas station CBD products to uncovering why most cannabis products in legalized states are still unregulated. On this episode, Annabeth and I sat down with our friend Taylor, a college student who's currently growing cannabis in her own home. We chat with her about how she got into home-growing, the day-to-day operations, and how her relationship with cannabis has changed throughout quarantine. Join us as we take a trip into the green rush and look into America's favorite plant!

Chocolate Cover Lessons

Chocolate Cover Lessons is where we have organic conversations about HBCUs also known as Historical Black Colleges and Universities. I bring in people who attended or attends these universities and talk about the culture. We touch topics as in what does an hbcu means to you, legacy, homecoming, and the overall aspects of HBCUs. In this episode, we had Mr. Chris and Mrs. Shaw who attended Bethune Cookman University in Daytona Beach Florida. We talk about HBCUs but we really dive into a specific one called Bethune Cookman University. The reason we touch on that particular school is because they have attended that university, it was easier to talk about.
