The Countdown

dreaming of talking to crushes, solving rubik's cubes quickly, and discovering our passions.

Headphone users, you have been warned. Context: I'm pretty sure Lilac remained upside down for the entire duration of filming. Welcome to Countdown, Episode #6. We talk about dreams. That's about it. Sleep dreams, life dreams, lucid dreams. It's actually a pretty chill kind of day, so sit back, relax and listen to us think about our future in a mildly calm manner. You know, except for when Pranali attacks us for mentioning her dream of a future with her crush - or talking to them at the very least. The Countdown Podcast is hosted by Jatin Presse, Lilac Walia, and Pranalisree Rajarajan.

we judge each other's covers

Headphone users, you have been warned. Context: We made this episode longer because of the hiatus. We probably won't be doing this again. (Editing was a nightmare). Welcome to Countdown, Episode #5. We're making no more promises, except the promise to entertain you within every episode. And in this one, you get to hear each of our members absolutely flame each other based on appearance and personality. How fun, right? Throughout the episode, we focus on first impressions of each other, how other people perceive us, and how we perceive each other. All in all, it's a judge-y kind of day. The Countdown Podcast is hosted by Jatin Presse, Lilac Walia, and Pranalisree Rajarajan.

we're back!

Headphone users, you have been warned.  Context: Lilac had a mild cold, so we're sorry if she sounded more annoying than usual. Welcome to Countdown, Episode #4. We're finally back! And junior year has hit us like a truck. The episode consists of unfiltered juniors joyfully jabber about their junior year, jumping through jubilant journeys and unforgettable ups and downs. Okay, but actually, we talked about how this year's been affecting us, as well us recent events and the one's we're looking forward to. Join us to hear our thoughts on standardized testing, homecoming season, and how big our hands look under different types of glasses. P.S. We bleep out the names of people and locations to protect their privacy :) P.P.S. Pranali doesn't actually hate Collegeboard. She loves it. Pls give her a scholarship to all of the colleges. And a 1600 on the SAT. And a 1520 on the PSAT. And a personalized digital trophy for "SAT and PSAT Excellence," just in case her 1600 and 1520 scores aren't enough. And a lifetime supply of No. 2 pencils with erasers. The good white erasers too, not the pink ones that fall apart the moment you use them. And a personal concierge service for scheduling and registering for future exams, because who wants to deal with that paperwork. And a Collegeboard-themed cape that she's allowed to wear during actual standardized testing. And a "Get Out of College Application Essay Writing" card, because after all those exams, she doesn't want to start with the essays. And a pet parrot trained to squawk "You're Collegeboard's biggest fan!". And an "I Heart Collegeboard" t-shirt, and a mug, a hat, a baseball cap, and an official sponsorship for the podcast. You should definitely consider an official sponsorship for the podcast. P.P.P.S. (Elon, if you're seeing this, we have a great elevator pitch for you). The Countdown Podcast is hosted by Jatin Presse, Lilac Walia, and Pranalisree Rajarajan.
