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!

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!

Join Allison as she dives into underlying factors of environmental change, featuring special guest Lia Haile, an Environmental Studies major.
