From All Corners I-House Storytelling Project

For this bonus, closing episode we decided to flip the tables and asked Magnus Aston, our first Under the Dome guest, to interview our usual host instead! Valerie calls in to talk about travel adventures, the concept of YOLO, Hogwarts houses, and an intense day of competition that took place aboard a ship.

Diler Cavdar, a master’s student at UC Berkeley School of Law, calls in from her room at I-House — a top-secret room that Diler is very protective of as she has resided there for three years! Diler joins us to reminisce about a special family tradition, childhood days spent eating lots of ice cream with her siblings in their neighborhood park, and her favorite I-House memories. 

Maria Zielinska, an art history student on exchange from University College London, calls in from her home in the north of Poland. Maria joins us to talk about her current favorite hobbies, a beautiful day spent in a coastal English village, and a memorable rendition of “Hey Jude.”

In this episode we chatted with Abhinav Deshmukh, a MBA student at the Haas School of Business. What do I-House, the movie Argo, a landmark legal case, and an Olympian athlete have in common? Tune in to hear these and other stories from Abhinav!

Paulina Tarr, a junior at Cal, calls in from her room at I-House. Paulina joins us to share stories about her treasured family album, the meaningful experiences she has gained this year all over the Bay, and adventures with friends in her dearly departed car, Junie.  

In this episode we chatted with Kieran Janin, a master’s student in Civil and Environmental Engineering. Kieran joins us from his family home just outside of Paris, France, to share stories of his French and American familial roots, of cherished meal-times at I-House, and of a musical upbringing that includes a family bluegrass band!
