Ep. #5 | MICHELIN: FOOD OR TIRES??

This episode, Allison talks about a special experience at a Michelin restaurant in Thailand, and we discuss food controversies as well. We break apart the dinner evening in a timeline of dishes, and describe the molecular gastronomy involved in many Michelin cuisines. Featuring Jamison...

Ep. #4 | Bubble Tea Talks with a Psychic and Philosopher?!

There are many classic labels that exist to identify different people in this world. Horoscope, blood type, MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator), WPM (words per minute), and music taste are all fun labels that we have correlated to different personality types. In this "one of a kind" episode, Allison is joined by a fellow bubble tea lover, and a truly random but interesting (hopefully) conversation plays out. Listen to us dissect our personalities, discuss controversial K-Pop opinions, sucking at Chinese School, classic 2000s cinema, school and life philosophies, visual/performing arts and stories that built who we are today. Featuring Phoebe!

Ep. #3 | Stressed Out About College?! ft. Disapproving Neighbors

(Note: The intro is unfortunately not an enjoyable listening experience, but since I tried to edit it a bunch of times and it got consecutively worse, I just left it. Luckily it’s only a small section and the rest is good!) Paying to have a social life? Having more free time? Ah, the college process/experience. Something we’ve all heard about, and most of us have probably experienced it. But for those who haven’t, it’s hard to picture what it’s really like. But however many ups and downs there are, junior and senior year should be a time to not be stressed out all the time :D. This episode, Allison talks about some common and also controversial topics relating to the college process, and finds out about a real life college experience. (Also stay to the end for an impromptu discussion about questionable experiences with neighbors) Featuring The University of Chicago Economics major sophomore Samantha Ma!

Ep. #2 | Potentially Getting Paid For Making Melodies?!: Songwriting as Gen Z

We all have the ability to hum and make a decent melody, and most of us know how to write poetry as well, but what if these two things were put together? Can you turn these skills into a whole career? What about being able to put out your music from the comfort of your own bedroom? In this episode, Allison explores her hobby of songwriting in this modern age, along with personal songwriting stories and advice on how to write a good song. Featuring two songwriters, Marley Lammers and Percy Okoben!

Ep. #1 | Saving Turtles or Saving my Fashion Sense?

We all know how serious the effects of climate change are and we all know how we can make an impact. But as a society, are we doing enough? What about fast fashion? Do we need to give up buying certain items of clothing to help the environment? What is Gen Z even supposed to do? What do you do in environmental studies in college? Join Allison as she dives into underlying factors of environmental change, featuring special guest Lia Haile, an Environmental Studies major.
