Fall 2023 McK Radio Wrapped!

By Elana Melzer, Head Producer

This semester, the McK Radio reached new heights! Two new series were started, and more Bearcats tuned in to listen. 

The first episode of McK U Know was published on September 28th. This series, run by Kira Johnson and Rhian Dobinson, is all about getting to know what is going on with sports and clubs at McKendree. In fact, the third episode on women’s soccer was the McK Radio’s top podcast, according to Spotify Wrapped for Podcasters! Go and give this episode a listen!

And “McK U Know episode 1 Bowling” was the top episode of the semester on SoundCloud.

The second series that premiered this semester was the McK Catchup. This series, run by Elana Melzer, is all about catching students up to date on what is going on at McKendree each week. The most recent episode was a special on the parking issues at McKendree. Give it a listen!

And we cannot forget about the honors students’ special series for Halloween. Different honors students braced themselves for potential hauntings to record their own spooky tales for Honors Ghost Stories. These six tales will send a chill down your spine. Only the brave can listen to them.  

Over the course of this semester, McK Radio had over 300 plays on Spotify and SoundCloud combined! Thank you for all your support in 2023, and we hope you join us on our journey into 2024!
