Here on the Buzz, with Thanksgiving right around the corner, we talked to the AMPS food pantry coordinator about the role the pantry plays in sustaining Berkeley residents. 

"There’s a lot of people here that need USDA food, so it’s really cool helping them out. They really need it. Even if you don’t need it, you can get some, so pull up here after school every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month."

-- AMPS student Emmanual, who goes by Champy.This episode was produced by Miriam Reichenberg and Zazie Duchene, and edited by Julia Brimmer.

From September 15 to October 15, Latinx Heritage Month is celebrated across the country. Here on The Buzz, we’re sharing interviews with two Latina student artists on how creativity shapes the ways they see themselves and their communities. We spoke with Anita Julca and Lol-be Ceasar-Santos.

"During Hispanic Heritage Month it’s so important to amplify voices of Latinx artists. Of course, you know I’m 17, so I'm still figuring out who I am as an artist and as a Latina woman in our world." --- Anita Julca

Welcome to this year's first episode of The Buzz! For the 2023-24 school year, we’ll be featuring in-depth discussions and interviews about topics that matter to our community.

The school year is well underway. We’re sitting next to new people in class, joining clubs, and meeting up with old friends. But making friends in high school isn’t as simple as it was in elementary school, when asking someone to join you on the swings was all you had to do. It’s more challenging now.

For this episode, we asked Berkeley High students to share their experiences. We also talked to Eva Cantor, a Bay Area therapist who works with teens, about how we can build more genuine connections and make good friends in high school

This episode was produced and edited by Miriam Reichenberg and Zazie Duchene. Interviews and additional reporting were conducted by Zazie Duchene, Emmett Price, Julia Brimmer, and Paolo Rivera. We included a clip from the song We’re Going to Be Friends by The White Stripes.
