    Spillin' the Tea on APN | APN's Waveform (KARC): Season 2, Chapter 9

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!   Check out Ethan Tran's podcast and other media content by him!  Instagram: @ethantranmedia  Shoes Off Podcast: https://linktr.ee/shoesoffpodcast  Segments  0:00 - Intro  0:49 - We Love What We Do...Seriously!  10:27 - Pouring Out Our Passions  17:32 - Break: Shoes Off Podcast  18:22 - The Grind  29:22 - What Pisses Us Off During Production  49:13 - Outro   Crew  Producer: Lawrence  Editor: Lawrence  Host: Lawrence  Guests: Ethan Tran, Tharun Saravanakumar   Website  https://anchor.fm/apnwaveform  Social Media  Instagram: @apachenews  Twitter: @apache_news  Facebook: TheRealAPN

    Anti-Asian Hate | APN's Waveform (KARC): Season 2, Chapter 8

    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     Segments:   0:00​ - Intro   1:21​ - The Not Good, The Bad, and the Ugly   11:00​ - Processing Racism Within   18:49​ - Break: Stop Asian Hate Rally   19:37​ - In the Face of Hate, There is Unity   29:25​ - Combating Prejudice   41:31​ - Outro     Crew   Producer: Lawrence Sung  Editor: Lawrence Sung   Host: Lawrence Sung   Guests: Kathy Liu, Swetha Somasundaram     Website   apachenews.ausd.net     Social Media   Instagram: @apachenews   Twitter: @apache_news   Facebook: TheRealAPN

    SPORTS LIVE-STREAMS ARE BACK! | APN's Waveform (KARC): Season 2, Chapter 7

    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.   Segments  0:00 - Intro  0:55 - LIVE-STREAMS ARE BACK YAYYYYY!  8:27 - The Drivers of Apache Sports  17:04 - Break: APN Sports Livestreams  17:40 - When the Sports Enters Your Blood  31:26 - A Career on the Field/Court?  39:12 - Outro   Crew  Producer: Lawrence Sung  Editor: Lawrence Sung  Host: Lawrence Sung  Guests: Clara Montenegro, Harrison Meyers, Ian Sutliff   Website apachenews.ausd.net   Social Media  Instagram: @apachenews  Twitter: @apache_news  Facebook: TheRealAPN

    Keepin' Minds Sharp All Around | APN's Waveform (KARC): Season 2, Chapter 6

    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".   Segments:  0:00 - Introduction  1:28 - Compiling the Middle School Wellness Summit  18:11 - Break: Media Minds Advertisement  18:34 - How We're Trying to Keep Our Sanity   Crew:   Producer: Lawrence Sung  Editor: Lawrence Sung  Host: Lawrence Sung  Guests: Andrew Liu, Jacob Randall   Website: apachenews.ausd.net   Social Media:  Instagram: @apachenews  Twitter: @apache_news  Facebook: TheRealAPN

    Who Runs This Podcast? Girls. | APN's Waveform (KARC): Season 2, Chapter 4

    Since the days of old, it has been an uphill struggle for women in this society--especially in this year's APN crew, where 16 out of the 19 members are boys. Nevertheless, KARC co-producer Safia Malik and APN members Clara Montenegro and Giselle Lai have always met the challenge, and exceeded its power. Today, they sit down to discuss not just their experience in the boys club that is APN, but their outlook on advancements for women throughout society.   This chapter is dedicated to the 47th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, which is today. APN is an ardent support of gender equality and women's rights, and will continue to highlight these issues on its platforms.   Segments:  0:00 - Introduction  0:50 - Too Many Boys in APN, Not Enough Girls  5:20 - Women's Health, Women's Stories  14:11 - Sports Definitely Ain't Just a Man's World  19:28 - She Runs the Gov't, She Runs the World   Crew  Producer: Safia Malik  Director: Lawrence Sung  Host: Safia Malik  Guests: Clara Montenegro, Giselle Lai   Website Link apachenews.ausd.net   Social Media  Instagram: @apachenews  Facebook: TheRealAPN
