With the long-awaited release of the movie, it felt timely to write a review of “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,” Suzanne Collins’ 2020 prequel to “The Hunger Games.” The novel chronicles Coriolanus Snow, later President Snow in the original trilogy, as he becomes a mentor in the 10th annual Hunger Games.

To celebrate the spooky season, the WDCE 90.1 FM DJs curated a Halloween Mix! Each DJ had the opportunity to submit songs of their choice to help create a monthly themed playlist and diversify our listening. Here are five wicked song recommendations pulled from the collaborative mixtape!
“All Stories are Love Stories” by Elizabeth Percer is a beautifully woven story tied neatly with a bow. The novel takes place in San Francisco on, you guessed it, Valentine’s Day, after two devastating earthquakes ripped the city apart. The stories of four different people take the reader on a journey of regrets, high-stakes emotions and devastation.

Spotify curates so many personalized playlists for its users that some music listeners may not feel they need to make their own playlists anymore. Between the “Lit Shower Mix” the algorithm made for me and the new “daylist” feature, it would be easy to think I need not curate my own mixes (my first personalized “daylist” was titled “yearning swamp tuesday afternoon,” stylized with lowercase letters to show cringeworthy Gen Z sensibilities). However, denying oneself the pleasure of creating hundreds of niche little pockets of somewhat related music would be a disservice! Playlists and mixtapes are like little time capsules that, when dug up years later, ignite sense memories of exactly where you were when you made it. It is a truly miraculous thing.
“The Love Hypothesis” by Ali Hazelwood centers on Olive, a 26-year-old in her third year of Stanford’s Ph.D. program, whose dwindling free time is nothing compared to her lack of romantic prospects.
Editor’s Note: When referencing people’s names, the writer kept the original Japanese name order where applicable. (e.g., Kore-eda Hirokazu instead of Hirokazu Kore-eda).
Squeezing past someone smelling of eggs and opener Gladie front woman Augusta Koch, I wait with a sold-out Tuesday night crowd for DIY punk icon Jeff Rosenstock.
My first encounter with “book banning” happened when I was still a high school student. At the time, Young Adult fiction books surged in popularity among people my age.
Michaelangelo Antonioni’s “Red Desert” (1964, released in Italian as “Deserto Rosso”) opens with the image of a factory obscured. Obscured by the opening credits, the camera’s unfocused lens, but especially by the trails of smoke it ceaselessly spits out (oozing from every orifice it can find room for). Second to the image is the sound: an ethereal and floating voice that hangs over the world with the wit of a butterfly stopping to roost.
Dear Reader,
Once the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, people turned from movie theaters to streaming services.
The last week is always the hardest. Everything I do feels nostalgic, and I long for the chance to do it again. Suddenly, each action becomes so much more meaningful as youI note it as your last, at least for a while.
I deeply love UR. This love for the university and the subsequent community is why I am compelled to offer a more formal response to The Collegian 's call for responses to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision regarding the consideration of race in admission. More specifically, I am writing to refute many baseless claims that were publicized by The Collegian 's Instagram post.
For all four years of my time at the University of Richmond, I have been a DJ with WDCE 90.1 FM, getting to share my music taste and excitement over new releases and concerts with the campus and Richmond community. I’ll miss my show and wandering through the CD collection in the station. After 77 shows of Second Hand News, I want to leave you with a playlist of songs to listen to this summer.
Dear readers,
