Tyler Champagne, an internet-famous content creator known for his hilarious parenthood videos, has decided to keep his 2-year-old son's pictures off social media. Instead, he mimics him in a unique way that could give professional actors a run for their money. Earlier this year, inspired by the many serious motivational podcast clips on his feed, the 32-year-old launched a series named "Toddler Motivational Podcast". He found humor in picturing how a toddler might host such podcasts.

A national campaign for black lives led to an unfortunate series of events, involving the unexpected deaths of numerous Ferguson activists in St. Louis. These incidents spurred the creation of a true crime podcast which has been nominated for a NAACP image award.

"The Memory Palace," a popular podcast renowned for its unique exploration of American history, is the brainchild of Nate DiMeo '97. His work has not only earned him a spot as a finalist for the prestigious Peabody Award but also ensured his place in history with his podcasts being one of the first to be conserved by the Library of Congress.

Multi-instrumentalist and composer Brian Jackson recently reflected on the impact of his hit song, "The Bottle," from the 1974 album 'Winter In America' which he co-created with legendary artist Gil Scott Heron. This duo was known for their socially-conscious songs that resonated with activist movements in the 20th century. Their earlier works like “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised,” and “Home Is Where the Hatred Is,” marked them as influential figures in propelling civil rights conversations forward. However, it was "The Bottle" that brought a new level of success for them, becoming both a radio sensation and dance club favorite. The question now is what this breakthrough means to Jackson.
