HEAD by The Varsity

Bazaar is The Varsity’s variety podcast about lyfe at U of T and beyond, produced by Blythe Hunter. This week’s bits:

10 MINUTES OF HELL
What the fuck is Riverdale doing? It started as an over-the-top, dark adaptation (with musicals) of my favourite childhood comic, and it’s become a garbage fire with the worst/best writing I’ve ever heard. Now you can be subjected to my existential coping mechanism: I made up plotlines for the show and will tell you a bunch of them mixed in with real ones. Guess which ones are fake, but you probably can’t, lol. The cherry on top will be the meme voice Daniel reading the show’s cringiest lines ever out of context. No one asked for this, but I’m giving it to you.

HOW TO COVER STUFF WHEN YOU MAYBE CAN’T?
How do you report on an event if you can’t get into it? And what if the things happening there are important for people to know? Recent restrictions mean student media groups will need to apply for accreditation before being allowed to cover Scarborough Campus Student Union (SCSU) meetings. Associate News Editor Adam Lam asks two Varsity reporters who cover Scarborough what these new barriers mean to them and how they’ll adapt their reporting.

U LIE
Being a teen is shitty. Your ideas of your own identity and sexuality are still developing. Now add the internet. Chaos. One student looks at how meme culture and social media perpetuate pop culture myths about oral sex in heterosexual relationships, especially among teens, and how this hurts young women the most.
