Podcasts give listeners the opportunity to learn about topics that people may never hear about otherwise. Students at the university have recently had the chance to create their own podcasts about any subject they’re passionate about. Here are a few student-led podcasts to check out, all of which are currently available on Spotify and broadcast on 88.7 WNHU.

The Dr. Z and J-Dub Podcast

This podcast is hosted by athletic director Sheahan Zenger and faculty member JW Stewart. It features interviews with student athletes, coaches and faculty members. Zenger and Stewert bring on several guests and former athletes such as David Beckerman and Matt Chamberlain who talk about their experiences, whether it’s playing sports or working in the sports industry. If you’re into all things sports and athletics, this is the podcast for you.

Food Bubble

Nutrition student Allison Sammartano hosts the “Food Bubble” podcast with the hopes to educate listeners on proper nutritional habits so they can keep their bodies healthy. The first episode discusses the basics of nutrition and essential macro and micronutrients such as fats, carbohydrates, simple sugars and more.

The Grey Area

This podcast serves as a teaching tool for the UNIV 1141 class, which is a required course for all incoming university students. It covers topics like diversity, equity and inclusion. It is hosted by faculty coordinator Patrick McGrady and junior Homeland Security & Emergency Management major Syd Meyers.
