sports

Last week our DJs Hugh Wilikofsky & Caroline Hesse had Kenyon’s own SPORTS play on their radio show, The Snack Review! This is the link to the recording of that fantastic session done down in the station. SPORTS consists of Carmen Perry ’15, Benji Dossetter ’15, James Karlin ’15, and Catherine Dwyer ’14 (currently abroad). Special thanks to Executive Staff member, Edek Sher, for recording it live.

Also check out Carmen’s solo project Addie Pray! Carmen A.K.A. Addie played during Frances Sutton’s radio show, The Weird-Brag Hotline (taken over that night by her other radio show, Adventure Pants which she co-hosts with Sarah Maniates), along with a bunch of other great Kenyon musicians! Acts included James Plunkett ’13 (who has a side project, Townships, with fellow DJ Emma Lo ’15 and Adam Reed ’15, as well as Willows, with Hannah Beckerman ’14), Mary Allen ’13, and The Laurels (Michelle Birsky ’13 and Lauren Amrhein ’13)!

 Enjoy!

WKCO Presents: POP CULTURE BRUNCH – Sports (Or What Little We Know About Them)

This Sunday (March 31st) WKCO Presents: Pop Culture Brunch! Alex Borkowski, Hugh Wilikofsky and I (and the rest of our exec staff team) will discuss sports as they are represented in popular culture. We don’t know a lot about sports, but we’re going to try.

Some topics include:

Aaron Sorkin’s “Sports Night” – Why you should watch it (aside from the fact that it will save you about an hour next time you’re trolling Netflix for something to watch).

Underdog stories – Are they really the best? Do they characterize every sports film? Does anyone ever root for the overdog?

What ever happened to the Sandlot kids?

Tune in on Sunday at noon for the answers. Give us a call at 740-427-5411 and let us know what YOU think.
