CS 469: RIP The Great Awakening, 2014-2020 pt 1



On today’s episode, Teen (Escape From Plan A, @mont_jiang on Twitter) and Chris (Escape from Plan A, @JesuInToast) join Trevor to discuss the life and death of “The Great Awokeness”. The basic idea of this episode is that the economy was good for a while, so people had money to waste and also wanted to talk about a lot of hot-button issues involving marginalized groups thanks to events in the news that were kept in the forefront via social media and protests. Now money is tight and people are out of patience for a lot of these social issues, but many in academia, politics, and media didn’t get the memo and are in for a rude awakening.

CS 466: Casual Round Table pt 1



DISCLAIMER: We are still figuring out our audio issues and in this episode, you may notice that Vidas audio is digitized and choppy. We are sorry about this and will continue to work towards resolving this and other issues.
Today Vida and Trevor sit down for a casual chop-it-up session on everything from stepping away from social media to Joe Buddon and Top Gun. Later Mario jumps on to join the conversation and add his insights to the mix. It’s a laid-back affair, so get your slippers on and keep your coffee hot because this week the Sharks are keeping it casual.
