Taste
<p>The Pidgin kicks off a new season with stories on taste. Are the things we like inevitable, or shaped by the world around us? In our community segment, we take a look at young people's tastes in fashion. For Culture, we interrogate 'authentic' emo, and try to find out who determines what's good on the scene. Our science segment centers neuroscience research on the link between our brains and our digestive systems.</p>

Seniority
<p>WPRB News and Culture: The Pidgin has growing pains, and we can feel ourselves aging like fine wine, so today we’re talking seniority – in all the meanings of the word. We talk about the elders in our lives, and our communities, but we’re also thinking about chapters ending and beginning. Ariel Chen starts us off by reporting on this past week’s May Day protests in the community, and points to how older people are starting to become the new face of activism. For our culture segment, Margo Mattes reflects on personal stories from the drama of her grandmother’s nursing home, and reflects on how the way we feel, and interact with other people, never really changes as we move through life. Finally, for our science segment, Teo Grosu and Natalia Maidique talk to Dr. Coleen Murphy, a researcher at Princeton who studies aging in many forms, about how research often needs the space to grow and age for its true importance to be revealed.</p><p>Hosted and produced by Teo Grosu and Natalia Maidique.

Brainrot
<p>This week, The Pidgin keeps its wits about it and takes on something that's been plaguing our online spaces, and how we interact with them: brainrot. Mind-numbing and addictive, born on TikTok and leaking into real life, brainrot has come to be a quintessential part of contemporary culture. And we're turning it on its head. For our community section, Maggie Stewart talks to sociologist Niobe Way, to Stanford psychologist Judy Chu, and to some of her own male friends, to understand what the internet phenomenon of the TikTok Rizz Party reveals about modern masculinity, and boyhood. Up next, in our culture section, reporters Martiza Roberts and Emilka Puchlaski go to an Everyone Asked About You Concert, and they get the feeling that emo isn’t dead, but concert etiquette might be. And for science, we stay on our social science kick, and we have WPRB usual suspect Margo Mattes interviews a sociologist from the Toronto Metropolitan University about the experiences of older adults with social media. </p><p><br></p><p>This episode of the Pidgin was hosted and produced by Teo Grosu, reported, and recorded by Maggie Stewart, Margo Mattes, Emilka Puchlaski, and Martiza Roberts, and edited by Teo Grosu, Zachary Vernon, Maggie Stewart, Amelia Carneiro-Zhu, Margo Mattes, and Natalia Maidique.</p><p><br>(1:54) The TikTok Rizz Party</p><p>(27:10) Emo Isn't Dead, But Concert Etiquette Might Be</p><p>(44:11) Not Your Mama's Brainrot</p>
