At the very end of last spring — when Riley Board ’22, Lucy Townend ’22 and I (The Campus’ executive team) started planning for this year’s Campus issues — we got really excited about an idea. The idea was creating a Campus radio show where we’d share a little about the stories from each week.
Now, ten months and fifteen issues of the paper later, we’ve finally brought our idea to fruition. You can listen to our new WRMC show, “Headlines,” at 9 a.m. on Thursdays.
This isn’t technically the first time The Campus has had a radio show. There used to be a WRMC show called “The Campus Voice,” discussing the biggest articles from each issue, so, in some ways, “Headlines” is a revival of a previous format.
So, The Campus is on the airwaves. Well… we will be next week anyway. If you’re looking for a new way to engage with weekly news about on- and off-campus people, places and events, you can listen to our conversations about the biggest stories each Thursday morning, right after the paper comes out.
This has also been a big year for audio in general. Campus editors on the Multimedia and Sports desks have expanded our range of podcasts — including Middlebury sports recaps in “PFL Weekly” and interviews with former MiddKids in “Alum Conversation.”
