CiTR -- UBC Insiders On Air
CiTR -- UBC Insiders On Air
27 FEB 2016 · We ditched the usual format to play some music, ask for donations, and hang out with Maayan's fabulous (and UBC-affiliated) roommates, Verena Seufert and Sonja Babovic.
30 JAN 2016 · What a week. This show can be about nothing but the big story: accidentally leaked documents, posted on Reddit and reported by UBC Insiders, tell the story of the leadership crisis in the leadup to Arvind Gupta's surprise resignation last summer. Gupta finally breaks his silence and speaks to us. Also reactions and analysis from student Senator Gurvir Sangha and Faculty Association president Mark Mac Lean.
23 JAN 2016 · We're back from our hiatus with the first episode of 2016, wherein we delve into the search for the new UBC president, to replace the deposed Arvind Gupta as soon as September 2016. We've got some tape from the presidential search committee's Vancouver Town Hall event, and a scrum with UBC Chancellor Lindsay Gordon, as well as some discussion after.
We continue in the presidential vein as AMS president Aaron Bailey joins us to talk (also) about the search, lessons from this year's chapter of the never-ending war over tuition, and look ahead to the AMS election.
9 JAN 2016 · A non-canon episode of UBC Insiders On Air. We had our regular time slot available but wanted to continue our official hiatus. So Neal and Sean went into the studio to play some music and talk about Nassif Ghoussoub, comic strips, and cheesemongers.
19 DEC 2015 · n this week's special show, we have UBC Insiders alum Alex Lougheed on the news beat. We then interview Philip Steenkamp, UBC's brand new VP External on how it feels to be the adult in the room after a tumultuous season of UBC news.
Then, we have a special segment with Sam Fenn and Gordon Katic, the men at the helm of the Cited podcast, to help us look back on our first season on the radio and give us advice. We go out on the single from Christmas Happens Every Year, the seasonal offering from our friends over at The Syrup Trap. Check it out at syruptrap.bandcamp.com.
5 DEC 2015 · This week, Neal and I hit the streets with several on-location clips from things happening around campus. We catch a protest in the form of a funeral for our school mascot Thunder. We then stopped by an open house about the new Gage South bus loop and student residence project. On our way to the studio we caught the Vanier Cup celebration in the new SUB. Then we called Justin McElroy, the awesome former Ubyssey editor, about what this win means for football and UBC's varsity program. We then caught up with student Board member Veronica Knott outside their meeting. Finally, we discuss Stuart Belkin, the new multi-million dollar provincial appointee to UBC's Board of Governors.
For our interview today, we speak with Jennifer Berdahl, who became a household name around campus this fall when she wrote a controversial blog post speculating about whether Arvind Gupta "lost the masculinity contest" at UBC, after which the Board of Governors Chair contacted her directly to express his concerns with the post. The fallout from that affair eventually led to the resignation of John Montalbano, the chair of UBC's Board of Governors. We speak to her about academic freedom, diversity in the academy and the search for a new president.
28 NOV 2015 · This week we talk news with Madeline Taylor, the Spoken Word Coordinator (and our best ally) at CiTR. Madeline is a former member of the feminist collective at SFU's radio station CJSF, and she helps us talk through two emerging stories of sexual assault on campus. On our interview, student Board of Governors reps Julie Van de Valk and Veronica Knott join us to mostly talk about BoG transparency issues.
24 OCT 2015 · Moira Warburton of the Ubyssey joins us to talk about a change to the society act, tuition policy, election, and the Ubyssey's recent features spread, "Whose Campus". We then talk to UBC's sustainability guru John Robinson. We talk about what sustainability even means anymore, the campus as a living lab concept, green building, and John's new role as he joins the brain drain to U of T.
16 OCT 2015 · Three big stories this week: The AMS has been jock-blocked from holding Block Party at Thunderbird Stadium and is looking to fight back; the Chair of UBC's Board of Governors resigned even after a fact-finding report vindicated him; another round of large international tuition increases is upon us. For our feature interview UBC Faculty Association President Mark Mac Lean will talk about Gupta's resignation, Board politics, and academic freedom.
9 OCT 2015 · Anne Kessler (former AMS VP Academic, now with the Talon) talks with us about selling off vintage china, the redesign of the Library garden, the brain drain to U of T, and what's happening with the Talon. Then, Joanne Fox, Principal and Academic Director of Vantage College, tells us more about the Vantage programs aimed at first-year international students.
