    S8E37 We're Rebranding... New Logos and More

    In this weeks episode, Dottie and Brandon tackle the topic of the rollout of the new UNA logo. Was it necessary? Is it appropriate for the time? They also discuss the modern logo trend that is pervading corporate branding. Do you think there is an issue with modern logos? Leave us a little comment to let us know! Sorry about the late upload y'all, its been a busy week for the Martinator. I added in some fun little bits to try and make up for it. Hope you think this episode is awesome!

    S8E36 Being Ourselves. Making Kind of Good Art with Grant Leonard

    In this weeks episode, Dottie and Brandon are joined by Grant Leonard, a musician and entertainment business major at UNA. They discuss the importance of self expression within art when surrounded by art that seems to be made for mass enjoyment. We tend to hear "make art for yourself", but that task seems to get more difficult when surrounded by other "perfect" works of art. In a time period of comparison, maybe "okay" art is exactly what artists need to pursue.  I love Grant.

    S8E34 SOTA Pop: The Directors Cut. An inquisitive conversation on the finality of projects

    In this weeks episode, Dottie and Brandon talk about the finality of screenplays and other unfinished work. Are films ever really finished? What makes any art complete? As an artist, it is often difficult to find where a project ends and that sentiment is regarded heavily in this episode. New upload schedule lets get hype. As of this weeks episode, we will transition to Wednesday uploads rather than Mondays to better fit our schedules and keep uploads consistent. Thanks for sticking around with us so far. Leave us a comment about some of your unfinished projects or when you think a piece is really finished!

    S8E32 We've been replaced by sea lions.

    In this weeks episode, Dottie and Brandon discuss all of their awesome plans for this summer and next semester. Practicum prep, wrapping up previous projects, and some small projects to stay busy until the school year starts back up again. There's also friendship bracelet making and plenty of crying babies (for some reason) so stick around to the end of the video to soak up all this #awesome content.  Thank y'all so much for sticking around, I hope you really love the new hosts. I'm pretty fond of sea lions and it works out for us since our mascot is in fact a lion. We're going full aquatic this summer!

    S8E31 Christmas in... May? A joyful recap with the hosts.

    In this weeks episode, Dottie and Brandon take a look back at the beautiful year they have had through some of their projects from this semester. They also look back at some earlier SOTA Pop episodes from their time and before! Catch the injustice league making an appearance in this episode. Also, Santa Claus has begun to haunt their projects, so keep a look out for that guy.  It's been a long semester for everyone I'm sure, but we are super thankful for all of y'all who have stuck around with us so far. This season has shown us just how much our fans appreciate our content and it has been extremely apparent to us. So thank you for listening to a couple of college kids and watching these dumb edits I get to make. We wouldn't be here without you guys.  Intro shot by Reagan Lawson with music by Zeke Jones.  #recap #review #christmasinjuly #santaclaus #santa #claus #video #hashtag #comedyvideo #podcast #interview #artist #artwork #awesome #campuslife #art #community #comedy #creativeadvice #collegeartist #college #collegelife #video #videos #funny #funnyvideo #silly #students #studentlife #artwork #beautiful #community #design #education #explore #entertainment #explorepage #editing #foryou #fun #hosts #highlights #happy #improvement #instagram #inspiration #jokes #like #motivation #memes #movie #viral #viralvideo #viralvideos #2026 #trending #trendy #trendingvideo #trends
