Boys on the Couch vodcast: Monday, Jan. 5 – Friday, Jan. 9

Weekly Vodcast:  A.K.A. “BOYS ON THE COUCH” returns with seniors Jacob Palmerton and Hank Brown alongside junior Carson Ludford and sophomore Trey Miller.

Welcome to the Falcon Vodcast. After trial and error with the Weekly Vodcast this year, it was decided that bringing back ‘Boys on the Couch’ would be the best option to keep things rolling. Junior Carson Ludford kicks off the vodcast with an icy rap to bring the holiday cheer into the new year. Senior Jacob Palmerton discussed the end of Term 1 and the semester, as well as insight about the upcoming semester and Term 2.

At the beginning of the Advanced Journalism class each day, students will work directly with the school-wide daily broadcast announcements, ensuring that the group continues to create original and authentic content that provides students with insight into events around the school.

Included in this year’s first vodcast, the boys offered information regarding spring sports, Advanced Placement (AP) testing, and the Senior Scoop. Additionally, Miller, who is a three-sport athlete, spoke about upcoming winter sports events. Finally, Brown touched on some club meeting information.

For the most up-to-date information, tune in to the vodcast to learn about the most recent school and community updates.
