Students at the University of Vermont--like young adults everywhere--are soaking in media every second of every day. In this wide-ranging podcast, their Student Media Adviser turns his ball cap backwards and dusts off his skateboard to try to better understand media through their eyes. How they consume it, how they make it and what role it plays in their lives.
We're back after a (too long) hiatus and we're talking baseball as two members of the UVMtv Executive Board, Emmet Moeykens and David Leavitt join me to chat about a webs series they're producing that focuses on UVM club baseball.

Ep. 4 - Fellow Cats at the Movies (The Truman Show)
In the first of what we hope will be a recurring segment I'm joined by three members of UVM's student media groups to discuss a movie about media. This week Ayelet Kaminski and Molly Parker of the Vermont Cynic and Adalia Williams of UVMtv join me to discuss 1998's The Truman Show, staring Jim Carrey.

Ep. 3 - The Butterfly Queen
To kick off the new semester we visit with Liam O'Connor-Genereaux, a 2021 graduate of UVM, and the Director and writer of the feature film The Butterfly Queen.
Liam describes his movie, which has been shown at a variety of festivals, as a "Queer Rural Fantasy Adventure," a refreshingly unique genre and a departure from being force-fed the same Marvel movie over and over again.
You can check out a trailer and Liam's other work here (https://www.walrusdice.com/).

Ep. 2 - Advisor on a Train
In this episode of Fellow Cats we visit with one of the two students who will serve as Co-Editor in Chief of the Vermont Cynic in the fall, Eamon Dunn.
Eamon and I chat on the train down to New York for the College Media Association Conference about proper conference attire, artificial intelligence, finding joy in a pandemic and turning 21 in the greatest city on earth. You can see Eamon's work here (https://vtcynic.com/staff_name/eamon-dunn/).
Also, I plug ARTS 2030 - Multi Media Documentary, taught by yours truly and running in the fall.
