    E4: Introducing Bingo Sports – Do the Houston Texans and Houston Rockets have a chance for the Finals?

    This episode will entirely consist of a new weekly segment called Bingo Sports, in which we discuss the top stories in sports, with a particular focus on sports in the city of Houston, Texas. This episode we’re talking the big time contract extension for the quarterback Deshaun Watson and the outlook for the Houston Texans season starting next week—as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the Houston Rockets, currently playing in the 2nd round of the NBA Playoffs against the (seemingly?) league favorite, the Los Angeles Lakers.

    Wheat Bingo: E1 – 'Look Like Us,' a Spotlight on the First Global Multimedia Company for South-Asian Dialogue

    From a small online blog to now a global platform, Brown Girl Magazine (BGM) prides itself on publishing content that “uplifts, creates deeper understanding and connection and cultivates rich dialogue,” where no subject is off limits. Through numerous interviews with BGM contributors, we will demonstrate the how and why: how the magazine develops content and reaches the South Asian community and why the communities—the BGM team and the readership—continuously engage with the content.
