WCSUPodcasts

Just checking in a few weeks into the semester. We'll have some great guests in the next few weeks and a few new student contributors so stay tuned, stay subscribed, like and follow us on social media, and leave a review on apple podcasts.

This week we have a very special guest. Former CT Governor Jodi Rell joins Paul to talk about her experience and its eerie similarity to the current situation in Albany, NY.

Paul has a few last minute reminders before we come back to school next week.

Paul graced us with his presence on campus to record this quick episode about how the reopening is going to work in the fall. If you have any questions you can always email us at podcasts@wcsu.edu and we'll answer them "on the air"

Behind the Curtain - Growing up in Gaza - In their own words by WCSUMedia

Jaclyn's final episode of @WCSU before she graduates this weekend! Congratulations, thank you and best of luck.

Paul talks to the 2021 Barnard Student Award winners: Bakhtawar Izzat and Isaac Jean-Pierre. Jaclyn's favorite conspiracy theories and thoughts on dogs v siblings.

Paul is joined by WCSU Philosophy professor, Anna Malavisi to talk ethics and her upcoming lecture "The Urgency of the Ethics of Greening". Jaclyn comes on to talk upcoming events, Harry Potter, Vaccines, Joe Jonas, the whole enchilada. https://www.wcsu.edu/wow/event/the-urgency-of-the-ethics-of-greening/

There are two kinds of people in the world: Those who like pineapple on pizza and jerks. Dr. Caroline Waldbuesser joins Paul to talk about conflict in the classroom and it almost came to blows. Paul has big news about WCSU students and vaccines. Jaclyn has an update on her mom's cooking and Pete's daughter threatened to derail the whole thing by climbing on his head the entire time we recorded.

Following a long established tradition and much to Paul's continued chagrin, Dr. Rayda Krell is taking over @WCSU! Rayda brings on fellow WCSU science professor Dr. Mitch Wagener to talk climate change and then comes back to teach us all about cicadas and whether or not we need to worry about them this summer. We all miss out on student co-host Jaclyn Bonomo this week but she'll be back next week....

Paul is joined by Commissioner of the CT Department of Revenue Services and former Danbury Mayor, Mark Boughton. Jaclyn drops some social work knowledge on us and we get a taste of her imitation of her mom. Spoiler alert: it slaps.

Paul is joined by three ladies this week: Katherine Roe to talk about Education, Caitlin Crowley on Spring sports and J Lo & A-Rod, and Jaclyn Bonomo on all things student.

Paul finally convinced a student to wade into the murky waters of @WCSU. Thank you Jaclyn! Our poor devoted listeners will no longer have to suffer with just Paul and Pete babbling away at each other. We hope you are excited as we are.

Paul talks to WCSU Alumna and boxer, Stephanie "The Boss" Moss, about her journey and then the show officially joins the ranks of people who harass Assistant to the Director of Meteorological Studies and Weather Center, Gary Lessor, about all things weather related.

Paul is joined by Associate Vice President of Enrollment Services, Jay Murray, and Student Government Association President, Anna Adebambo, to figure out where we are on the mascot change away from The Colonials and Colonial Chuck to something new. Dr. Rayda Krell is back yet again for an update and Paul is quick to judge.

Paul is joined by Alba Hawkins, WCSU Professor of Spanish, and Dr. Rayda Krell launches a takeover bid and interviews Dr. Hannah Reynolds about Fungus! For the list of seminars Hannah talked about please go to https://www.wcsu.edu/biology/seminar/ Enjoy the Presidents Day Weekend

Paul talks to Audrey Redpath about her new role as Chair of the Student Advisory Committee to the Board of Regents, her take on WCSU on the whole, and some of her ongoing investigative journalism projects. Dr. Rayda Krell is back again with another Science.... Minute?... Minutes? Veronica Kenausis has another book for us to check out

Remote week is over and we're back! Sort of. Paul has Dr. Jeff Schlicht on the show to talk about exercise as medicine and the WCSU HPX program in general. Dr. Rayda Krell call in with this week's Science Minute. Director of Libraries, Veronica Kenausis, is here with the first "Book Talk" in a while but it won't be the last.

Paul is joined by: -Dr. Stephanie Kuhn, the winner of the 2020 Provost's Award for Teaching -Dr. Rayda Krell, Host of Science Minute and newest not-really-new Biology Professor on campus -Joe Loth, Head Football Coach and surprisingly-not-sad Cleveland Browns fan Next time you hear from us you'll be back on campus (in spirit anyway)

@WCSU is back. The show has been in complete isolation, gotten its vaccine and is masked up and ready to go! Paul calls Director of Emergency Management, Pano Koukopoulos, to talk covid and what people should expect when they come back to campus. Then WCSU Head Football Coach, Joe Loth joins to talk the lost season, the future of the program, and the Cleveland Browns!!!!

This week @WCSU pays tribute to one of WCSU's revered professors and the founder of the MFA program, Margaret Grimes. Paul is joined by six of Margaret's former students to help give us an idea of who Margaret was and what she meant to them.

Paul is joined by WCSU Provost Dr. Missy Alexander to talk about the semester as we head off for Thanksgiving break. @WCSU wishes you all a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

This week, Paul is joined by Kathwari Honors Program Director, Sabrina Marques. She tells us all about the program: How she got there, where it's been, where it's going, and what makes this honors program so special. Paul and Pete then lay out some of the upcoming events on campus and on the interwebs

Paul is joined by WCSU Professor of Political Science, Howell Williams, to make sense of the, as of the time of this recording, undeclared US Presidential election. We'll also list off some upcoming events (boy do we miss Bharbara and Chantel) and Paul plugs a local eatery. Take a break from refreshing the election results page and listen up.

This series is all about hearing the stories of our friends, students and colleagues of color, who are experiencing the impacts of systemic racism every day. Today, we'll speak to a few WCSU students about their own personal stories of how racism affects them. And we'll talk about their ideas for ways we can each work to make things better.
