Our last show of the year. We talk about 21+ Dive Night, rising tuition, Iraq, and more. No guests, just Justin and Chad discussing the issues that matter. 8 issues. 64 minutes. One heck of a show.
Building Bridges Conference Honored by City of Saint Peter -
Gustavus Adolphus College's Building Bridges Conference recently received the 2008 St. Peter Human Rights Commission Award. Given annually, the award is meant to recognize an individual or organization in St. Peter that has furthered human rights in the community.
KGSM covered this year's building bridges conference, for more information click here you can also find extended interviews from that piece with Asitha Jayawardena, Jing Han Soh, and Virgil Jones at our Behind the Scenes Blog.
Critics (Luke and I) agree: this week's show was pretty awesome. We had a follow-up interview with Student Senate Parliamentarian Scott Broady along with the usual high-quality content you expect. Stream or download to get The DL!
Foreign Language Word of the Week: Zhūmùlǎngmǎ Fēng (what the Chinese call Mount Everest). The Olympic torch reached the summit of Mt. Everest today. The 2008 Winter Olympics is being hosted by China and the games begin 8/8/08!
Silky Johnson's 21st, suction-cup chopper tranport, and smooooooth jazz...2 out of 3 this week. Listen, turn it up, then turn it down a bit when we yell, but then turn it back up, and enjoy!
Zach and Spence
We've had some pretty weird stuff happen during the two years we've done Zach and Spence in the morning--strange visitors, wonky technical stuff, equipment malfunctions--but all of that old stuff was topped this week. Two words: Relay Operator. Besides that, something was just...off...for this show. Which of course made it like 3443 times better than normal. Enjoy!

Back in time on Aural Fixation, this episode comes to you from spring of 2006 (around this time of the year so it's at least a little timely), back when the show was called Blacklisted and was hosted by John Byrnes ('07). Enjoy the program, these don't come around very often.
Pete and Chris struggle with trying to take requests using just the station computer. Also stars special guest Captain Jack Sparrow
