Host Sean Stetson kicked the show off with an update on Utah Politics. Guests: Voices Amplified contributor and The Globe staff-writer Jonny Tollestrup and Vice President of Student and Government Relations Tim Sheehan.

  • Tim Sheehan was appointed to his current position of Vice President back in 2012, and he shared all the ways that Student and Government Relations have changed since he joined. Tollestrup delved into the nitty-gritty of a recent tax cut, where funds have been redirected from Utah’s education system, and how that will affect students and teachers moving forward.
  • READ: How a Billion in New State Spending Could Affect SLCC, by Jonny Tollestrup, published by The Globe.

The night’s show brings Black Student Union Event Coordinator Shari-Fa Harrigan, and Vice President Jessie Tembo in to speak on Black History Month celebrations, disappointments, as well as upcoming BSU events.

Show-Host Sean Stetson asked Associate Head Coach of men’s basketball Christopher “CJ” Killin about the ups and downs of The Bruins’ exciting season.

This week’s show closes with an exciting edition of #PopCultureNuggets, featuring “the slap heard ‘round the world.”

  • Tollestrup shared in the world’s shock of Will Smith’s uncharacteristic attack against comedian Chris Rock and debated its meaning with Stetson, who still wonders if it was staged or not.
  • Special guest and show collaborator Assistant Professor Marcie Young Cancio reminded folks that the Oscars’ has long been accused of being too white, to cisgender and too male-heavy yet this year’s telecast was set to prove otherwise. For it all to be reduced to the slap, she said, was “maddening.”
  • Stetson never fails to include an update from the world of sports. This time: March Madness “Final Four” is set with Kansas and Villanova facing off, and Duke and North Carolina are set to go head-to-head in Coach K’s final rivalry appearance.
