The DL's first show ever. A few glitches here and there, but overall... tis nice.
The premier episode of The DL includes fortune telling and possibly a fire along with musical highs (Daft Punk, One Republic) and lows (Jessica Simpson).
Foreign Language Word of the Week: Bienvenue (French for "welcome"). Welcome, audience, to a new semester with KGSM and The DL!
Luke accidentally makes a mildly-insensitive sound effect for a news item regarding an explosion at a shopping mall. Listen to the podcast for more!
Featured Artist of the Week: Daft Punk
Foreign Language Word of the Week: Anabolika (German for "anabolic steroids"). Steroids were first synthesized in Switzerland, where the most widely spoken language is German.
In this show, we discuss possible sound effects for Breaking the Norm along with World News, etc. "Unchained Melody" gets the airtime it deserves and the studio is visited by a creepy fortune teller.
Foreign Language Word of the Week: Inquinamento (Italian for "pollution"). Pollution is one of the many new mortal sins, as described by some bishop in the Vatican.
Aural Fixation is taking a break during spring break. We'll be back in two weeks with an all new documentary about the recent Building Bridges conference. This is a preview of what to expect.
There is one notable correction from the KGSM side of things. KGSM Week will include a guest speaker on Thursday, and Musical Chairs will be on Tuesday. Monday night is still campus media night, come on out and visit with KGSM at the media night. From WNYC New York Public Radio, and NPR, KGSM presents Radio Lab. A series on science and culture.

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.
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!
