The Curtain Call
September 29, 2021 12:00 - 47 minutes - 65.1 MBThe Death of the Greatest Show, Part III: The Curtain Call There are few surviving records of Studio's final shows from 2018-2020, of which none of these shows can be found online. Mostly because after the events we talked about last time, Studio was prohibited from uploading anything else to their YouTube channel. We knew the writing was on the wall, but when intracollegiate politics reached a breaking point and the COVID-19 pandemic shattered any semblance who was in control, it felt only...

Special Guests include: Gelissa Leveille, Kat Millholm, Armondi Stokes-Hicks, Jonathan Blackburn, Nathaniel Melville, Kevin Christenson,...
The Death of the Greatest Show, Part I
August 02, 2021 22:00 - 1 hour - 95.1 MBAfter 10 years of comedy, entertainment, and music, Studio 4109: LIVE! was canceled on my 25th birthday, February 24th, 2021.

Tabloid Junkie Part II
May 17, 2021 11:00 - 45 minutes - 62.7 MB“Just because you read it in a magazine or see it on the TV screen don't make it factual. See, but everybody wants to believe all about it." Those were words that were sung by Michael Jackson in his 1995 song "Tabloid Junkie." Those words, couldn't be any more true 25 years later, when I woke up the morning of February 23rd, 2020. I was expecting a relaxed brunch with my girlfriend Natalia and some time spent with friends before we made the drive back to my grandparents' suburb outside of At...
Tabloid Junkie
April 12, 2021 11:00 - 41 minutes - 57.5 MBIf you've been watching Bridgerton, you've probably heard of Lady Whistledown.

It's the constant quote tweets on Twitter, Instagram confession pages, Facebook conspiracies, heck, even Clubhouse unproductive conversat...
The Accidental Feminist Part II
March 24, 2021 10:00 - 30 minutes - 42.2 MBWe're continuing our conversation on feminism by scratching the surface of the feminist movement and experience for marginalized groups in America. As Sojourner Truth once said, "Ain't I A Woman?" Feminism is multifaceted and just as nuanced in this world where we’re all fishing for labels to put on people. Labels are easy, but they oftentimes come with a troubled past. If feminism means the things our guests discuss, then count me in. Maybe it’s time to stop being an accidental feminist, b...
The Accidental Feminist Part I
March 10, 2021 23:00 - 44 minutes - 60.9 MBIn 2021, feminism still gets a bad rep from tons of people. There’s the crowd that says, “Women should be absolutely equal to men,” or those who say, “Females should just stay in their place—happy wife, happy life.” There’s the women comfortable with being bare-chested and marching for justice, the women who wear massive costumes depicting their private parts, and the women who may dump acid on you for man-spreading on the Metro. But what makes a feminist a feminist? Am I a feminist in every...
An Oreo: The Whitest Black Guy He Ever Knew
February 22, 2021 23:00 - 29 minutes - 40.6 MBWhen I attended high school in New Mexico, I often ran into some problems. I was most people’s first. First Black friend, more specifically.
