Reality TV shows are known for exaggerating the personal lives and drama of their cast members, but we can bet that this week's episode isn't going to exaggerate anything! In the penultimate episode before the Season 2 Finale of KARC, Lawrence has an honest, down-to-earth conversation with Ethan Tran and Tharun Saravanakumar about the passion that goes into the APN production life, but also the frustrations that such a life carries as well.   

Stay tuned for the Season 2 Finale, which will be recorded in the studio for the first time since May of 2019!

Ever since the pandemic started, APN has covered the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes that followed. Given that our crew is mostly Asian, the attacks on the AAPI community have made the media coverage that Apache News does on this development very personal. In light of the situation’s gravity, Lawrence decided to sit down with Kathy Liu and Swetha Somasundaram to take the time to reflect on the whole thing, as well as how to progress forward not just as individuals, but as a society. #stopasianhate​    

APN thanks the Arcadia Civic Youth Council for providing the materials that were used to guide this discussion—materials that were from ACYC’s virtual Stop Asian Hate Dialogue. Watch the recording of the speaker sessions here: www.tinyurl.com/stophatearcadiavideo

Since the first sports live-stream of the 2020-21 school year just so happens to be on KARC's release date, Lawrence realized that it is now or never to do the long-awaited (at least in APN) sports podcast episode! This week, he sits down with the veterans of the Apache News crew--Clara Montenegro, Harrison Meyers, and Ian Sutliff--to discuss how they feel about sports live-streams returning, but also how they fell in love with sports.  



Sorry for the bad audio--it's been hard getting our audio equipment around these past weeks.

Another long episode coming your way! In the spirit of mental well-being, considering that APN has been busy editing Arcadia Unified's first-ever middle school wellness conference, and preparing for the possible return of sports to Arcadia High, Lawrence decided to sit down with Andrew Liu and Jacob Randall, two APN reporters who helped put together this monumental event, to talk about what it was like being on that project, and how they are maintaining their sanity during these times.  

Also, this wellness attitude convinced Lawrence to take a low-maintenance approach to editing this podcast episode due to the busy schedule he has had over the past two weeks, so that's why the audio is...well..."unique."   

Let's just say that this is a "director's cut".
