Mani Yells Podcast Takeover Ep1

The Mani Yells Podcast, which in no way is associated with any other similar podcasts of this format, is the premiere, reputable, highly professional, well respected, (and many other words for such a highly accomplished podcast), source of 100% accurate factual information on campus. Everything in this episode has been fact checked (to varying degrees) and it presented to you as accurately as possible, in no way fudging details for entertainment value. Hosted by the respectable Reid Maxwell, who has no relation to any other podcast host who you may associate with the name Reid or Maxwell in any order, we bring you news articles covered in this issue of The Ivory Buffalo, which can be found around campus at the usual news stands.
