66. The Buzz: First Year, Last Year

In this week's episode, as we near the end of the school year, we sat down with a freshman and senior. We asked them to reflect on their experiences so far, and how they compare to popular media depictions of high school. This episode was produced by Miriam Reichenberg and edited by Manushi Shah. Interviews were conducted by Dylan Dasgupta and Miriam Reichenberg. 

65. The Buzz: Building Community through Third Places

In today’s increasingly digitized world, third places, or public spaces that provide a sense of belonging, are becoming fewer and far between. Here at The Buzz, we decided to speak with Berkeley High students who gather in public places and participate in shared activities that enable them to connect with others. We spoke to teens who go square dancing, play pick-up basketball, and frequent the rock climbing gym.

64. The Buzz: Women in STEM, Often Heard of but Rarely Seen

Though Berkeley High has many women teaching in STEM areas, and many of those classes have a variety of students, representation is still lacking in certain STEM fields, especially ones like computer science and physics. To further explore this issue, we talked to a Berkeley High student and a teacher who both elaborated on their experiences in male dominated fields.This episode was produced by Zazie Duchene with help from Elsa Dietz and Julia Brimmer.

We also looked into a cafe that just opened, where Peet's used to be-- Penelope's, and what the public's reaction has been like.This episode was produced by Zazie Duchene and reported by Elsa Dietz and Julia Brimmer.
