My craving for classic fantasy content is very rarely satisfied. Unless it’s a “The Lord of the Rings” marathon or playing a game of Dungeons & Dragons, I always want more fantasy stories. That’s why I was excited about “Carcerem,” a weekly high-fantasy audio series.
Imagine yourself on the Quad on a cold, damp winter night, heading home after a solid study session at Ode. You pull out your phone to check the time and the glowing screen reveals that it’s past midnight. Out of the corner of your eye, you spot a menacing, human-like figure slowly creeping …
On a brisk, cold, Saturday night, I had the opportunity to witness the UW School of Drama’s new production, “So Far So Good,” from the warmth of my bedroom. “So Far So Good” is an online performance art piece devised by UW drama faculty member Libby King, fellow graduate actors, and designer…

If “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” is a facetious retelling of Arthurian legend, Alejandro Jodorowsky’s 1973 film the “The Holy Mountain” may be a Buddhist-influenced, post-colonial, psychedelic adventure of Jesus and the seven deadly sins.
I didn’t know this until recently, but former President Jimmy Carter is the candidate we long to vote for, yet may never again see in office. His humble beginnings, genuine advocacy, and deep-rooted love for American culture made him an ideal choice for the American people in 1977.
Mexico City rock phenomenon Los Blenders’ third LP “Mazunte 2016” has something for everyone and is sure to please. This is my favorite album of theirs; I adore their new sound and appreciate the range of topics and moods covered. The songs are also harmonious and fit together like puzzle pi…
