Pandemic University Podcast Bryson Berry

- Society & Culture
Hi, welcome to my new podcast. My name is Bryson. I am a black first-year student at Macalester College. I am using this space to talk about what it's like going to college during a pandemic, my experience as a freshman, some of the cool and interesting interactions I've had with new people and whatever else happening in my life as a college student. I am hoping that with this I can spark conversations and grow as a person. So, if you're interested in being a part of this journey, stick around!

Episode 19: Long Holidays
This is a shorter episode that I recorded after a funny grocery store experience. This is also going to be the last episode under the Pandemic University title.

Episode 18: Tired of COVID
Yeah, I'm ranting about COVID19. At this point, everything from the government, to the media, and to celebrities just finds a way to frustrate me. Especially after Aaron Rodgers decided that using an MLK quote to justify not taking a vaccine was appropriate. So now I'm getting all of my thoughts of my chest.

Episode 17: Happy New Year
Welcome back to the podcast! Sorry that I've been gone so long, with the way 2021 was, I needed to find a new way to approach recording this podcast. Now that I've started doing that, expect more episodes in the future. Today's episode is just a quick recap, so I hope you enjoy.

Episode 16: A Short Series w/ Pierce Wei (Pt. 2)
This is the second episode of the multiple-part series I recorded while in Chicago. In this part, Pierce and I talk about friendships and relationships during our respective first years in college. We also have a couple of side conversations here in there; this episode is a bit more light-hearted.

Episode 14: This is Getting Frustrating (Brooklyn Center Shooting)
Today's episode covers the topics of police shootings, violence and the fear around all of it. I won't lie, when I was recording this episode I went in with a very neutral attitude but by the time I finished recording I found myself so upset I was tense. I express my personal feelings and opinions about these police killings; I do not claim to be right or an expert about any of this. I also say things that aren't agreeable. I don't care that they aren't agreeable. This is a topic that needs to be talked about as much as possible, so if you have an issue with anything I say, you can message me on social media or send me an email.

Episode 13: Birthdays
After taking what seems like an eternity away from this podcast, I am back (again)! My birthday was only a few days ago, so in light of that, I thought I would talk about my relationship with birthdays in today's episode.
