enver voters headed to the polls on Tuesday to elect a whole slate of municipal leaders from mayor through city councilmembers. Also on the ballot were Initiated Ordinances 300, to lift the city-wide ban on urban camping, and 301, to decriminalize the possession of psilocybin mushrooms. Denver voters turned out in remarkable numbers, given the off-year cycle of municipal elections with just over 60% of those registered casting a vote

in the top-participated race, the at-large city council seat won by long-term incumbent Councilwoman Debbie Ortega.

This turnout was well above the national average (53.4%) in even the 2018 congressional midterms, one of the highest-voted elections in recent history.

At the top of the ballot, twoterm Mayor Michael Hancock, who has been serving since 2011, asked Denverites for a third term but was opposed by a crowded field of five challengers. Denver’s mayoral race is non-partisan, but Hancock is a Democrat. Given

this background, the common narrative around elections did not hold as some of his most prominent challengers were also registered Democrats.

Hancock faced Penfield Tate, Kalyn Rose Heffernan, Jamie Giellis, Seku Evans and Lisa Calderón. By the time of this article, 177,975 votes had been cast with Hancock winning 38.65%.

In second place was Jamie Giellis who attracted 24.88% of voters to her campaign followed

by Lisa Calderón with 18.45% of the vote. Tate managed to grab 14.73% of the vote and the rest of

the field received less than three percent of votes cast.

The strong showings from Giellis, Calderón and Tate prevented Hancock from garnering more than 50% of votes needed to become mayor, forcing him into a runoff election with Jamie Giellis, scheduled for May 20.

This makes Hancock the first incumbent Mayor to be forced a into runoff election since Wellington Webb in 1995. Webb would go on to serve until 2003.

Biden’s running in 2020

O

n Apr. 25, 2019, Joe Biden announced that he will be running in the 2020 Presidential Race along with 21 other Democrats and two Republicans.

As a former vice president and the longest standing senator in Delaware, Biden has a significant amount of political experience. He is also more moderate and older than many of his Democratic competitors.

According to a recent CNN article, Biden has averaged 28% in the national polls in the past month and 30% over the past year. Historically, candidates who average 30% in the first half of the year before the primary win their primaries roughly 40% of the time.

Biden was born and raised in Scranton, Penn. where he spent 10 years of his childhood before moving with his family to Delaware.

to allow voters to consider Initiated Ordinances 300 and 301.

Denverites soundly rejected 300, a proposition to lift the ban on urban camping currently in effect in Denver City Limits by a nearly five-to-one margin.

In stark contrast, the closely watched Ordinance 301, which decriminalizes the possession of psilocybin mushrooms, appears poised for passage after the “Yes” votes surpassed the “No” votes late Tuesday night as ballots began to pour in.

Denver, following the firstin-the-nation decriminalization measure of cannabis in 2000, is

once again poised to make history as the first municipality in the country to decriminalize the possession of so-called “magic mushrooms.” Importantly, 301 only decriminalized possession and not distribution, production or sale. As of Friday, May 10, the “Yes” column leads by less than 2000 votes with many overseas ballots yet to be counted.

The run-off for mayor will occur on May 20 and voters can find more information and register to vote at Denvervotes.gov.

Student killed, seven injured in school shooting south of Denver

A

t roughly 2 p.m. on Tuesday, May 7, two gunman opened fire in a K-12 school 10 miles south of DU at STEM School Highlands Ranch. An 18-yearold student was killed, and eight students were reported injured, with the youngest victim being 15. Two students are in critical condition. It is unclear if the reported eight injured students includes the student who was killed.

The Douglas County coroner identified the 18-year-old killed in the shooting as Kendrick Castillo. Castillo attempted to lunge at one of the shooters, letting other students escape. He was then shot. He was only days away from his high school graduation, and his friends, family and community have praised him as a hero.

The two shooters appeared separately before a judge on May 8. 18-year-old Devon Erickson and the other shooter, whose name has not been released due to being a

juvenile, are expected to be charged with murder and other crimes. All case-related documents remain sealed, and a filing of charges is set for May 10.

Authorities were able to respond quickly to the situation, which helped save more lives. The two gunmen walked “deep inside the school” and shot at students in two different locations. One gunman is said to be a juvenile who attends the school while the other is an adult. Eyewitness testimony recalls one of the shooters pulling a gun out of a guitar case before firing on students.

There were other eyewitnesses, like an 8-year-old student who reacted in bewilderment to what, she said, was hearing a gunshot for the first time and in her school. Other testimonies describe the shock and terror of older, high-school-aged students.

T

he Denver women’s lacrosse team handily defeated the Michigan Wolverines, 9-5, positioning Denver to make their first NCAA Elite Eight appearance.

Sophomore Quintin Hoch-Bullen (Orillia, Ontario) was the first to score, opening up scoring at 12:12 with an assist from senior Elizabeth Behrins (Basking Ridge, N.J.), Sophomore Bea Behrins (Basking

Ridge, N.J.) scored at 8:55 to bring the score to 2-0. Michigan finally got on the board at 7:44, but Hoch-Bullen responded with an unassisted goal at 2:44.

In the second half, Hoch-Bullen scored again at 25:04, followed by a goal from sophomore Eliza Radochonski (Englewood, Colo.) at 23:39. Although Michigan scored at 15:02 to make the score 5-2, Elizabeth Behrins scored at 13:05 with an assist from sophomore Hannah Liddy

(Westfield, N.J.) to preserve Denver’s four-goal lead. Michigan scored again at 12:12, but Liddy and Hoch-Bullen scored at 8:30 and 6:26 respectively to bring the score to 8-3. Although Michigan would score twice before the half ended, Hoch-Bullen scored her fifth goal of the night to bring the score to 9-5, Denver.

The defense anchored the game, as Denver lead Michigan in all defensive statistical categories.

Three Pioneers contributed to

Denver’s nine draws and 14 Pioneers tallied at least one ground ball. Denver was a perfect 19-19 on clears. Junior goalie Carson Gregg (Severna Park, Md.) made six saves.

A shooting hits too close to home in Highlands Ranch

B

y candlelight, a memorial vigil is held to remember the 1999 shooting at Columbine High School. It is 20 years to the day, so the grieving swap stories, tears and silence with one another in solidarity.

Then—three days later, less than 15 minutes away—two students open fire at STEM School Highlands Ranch.

“We heard yelling, we heard police tackling, screaming, singing—shockingly singing. And it was heart-wrenching,” a student told NBC News afterwards, continuing, “I can still hear them faintly. I can still hear them screaming and singing.”

At the K-12 charter school, one student died and eight others were injured.

“You don’t have to be the hero,” the father of Kendrick Castillo once told his son in a talk about what to do during a school shooting. Kendrick, described as a kind and selfless person by his peers, chose to be one anyway; he tackled and disarmed the shooter with the help of several

others in their classroom. He died saving others, three days away from graduating.

For most, the name Highlands Ranch doesn’t mean anything. It is known as the home for the affluent, and it’s called “The Bubble” because many young people live there, privileged until they graduate. So now, after the shooting, it will only exist in everyone’s memories as another place that contributes to why Colorado is known for its tragedies. The state has had four shootings since Columbine.

For me, though, Highlands Ranch holds a place close to my heart. It is where my family and I have lived for the past five years.

There, I started and finished high school. I learned to drive. I loved and lost. I grew up.

When I picture Highlands Ranch, I don’t think of shootings. I don’t think of guns and death and politics. I don’t think of fear. Instead, I have always thought of the opposite.

Because Highlands Ranch is my home. It is not a place where I expect shootings to occur, and

I shouldn’t have to worry when my brother goes to school if he’ll come back the same. Kendrick, who wanted to pursue electrical engineering, shouldn’t have had to be the hero.

Shootings have become so integrated into our culture that it is the norm for children to grow up afraid. 12-year-old Nate knew to hold onto his baseball bat during the shooting because, as he explained to CNN, “I was gonna go down fighting if I was gonna go down.” The instinct had been bred into him.

If shootings have the capacity to reach places once known as “The Bubble” because of how safe they were supposed to be, what hope is there for the rest of the country?

The shooting lasted 14 minutes, and in that amount of time, all tragedies like it have become so much more salient to me than they once were.

At this point, I have lost interest in the politics of the matter.

I am tired of how our society is all talk and no action. Spreading awareness is a crucial step in the

PIONEER VOICES

right direction, but how many more articles about shootings will I have to write through tears before change is visible?

I, like many, am fed up.

Issues of gun control and Second Amendment rights fall to the wayside when confronted with the reality that children are dying in what were once safe spaces. I am past caring about the semantics of who is right and who is wrong—I just want action, from either side, that will attempt to fix the problem. This may be an emotional reaction, but I believe it to be a justified one because preventing school shootings is that important and necessary. Emotional reactions have to be the catalyst for change.

“We were just mad,” a STEM senior, who participated in a protest the day after, told The Denver Post. “I don’t know. We weren’t thinking straight. We were just really pissed.”

Colorado General Assembly votes in favor of Colorado Kindergarten for All

T

his spring, as a student ambassador for Save the Children Action Network, I have worked alongside other DU ambassadors asking our representatives to support funding for full-day kindergarten for Colorado. With excitement, I thank members of the Colorado State Legislature, and Governor Jared Polis, for

supporting Colorado’s future by voting in favor of state-funded full-day K. Not only does this mean students from families of all incomes have access to kindergarten, but 5,000 desperately needed preschool spots will open up across the state.

I also excitedly thank the DU students who signed our SCAN petitions in favor of full-

day kindergarten: you played a vital part in our campaign and your voice was heard. Your signatures were delivered to your respective Senate and House representatives and the Appropriations Committee to show legislators just how many people support full-day kindergarten. Thanks to you, all of Colorado’s kids have access to

early childhood education.

DU While Native part four: Surviving and resisting as a family

T

omore women students and the Wakiyan cohort, Lakota for “thunder,” are the freshmen students.

Viki Eagle, the director of DU’s Native American Community Partnerships and Programs and the person who mentors and guides NSA, is responsible for naming the cohorts. In a Facebook post from October of 2018, she wrote, “The vision I have always had for our students is that when they speak they are speaking the same words of our ancestors to where the earth shakes to listen and the time stops because words were spoken directly from the heart. I named our cohorts from the fourth year Hehaka (Elks) Cohort to lay the land and find the home within us, the second year Sweetgrass cohort to tie us together.

on DU’s campus.

The Native Student Alliance (NSA) has long called itself a family. Though the group is diverse—coming from different tribes, regions, upbringings etc.—they all relate to having to survive DU as Indigenous students.

The group operates on a clan system, of which there are three cohorts: The Elk Clan, or “Hehaka” in Lakota, is made up of the five seniors and our one junior Native student; the Sweet Grass clan is made up of the seven soph-

place at the first ever NSA retreat. The retreat was created in order to give Native students a space to debrief after Fall Quarter, as well as look forward to what the group wants NSA to be and to goal-set for the year ahead.

For many students, especially for the freshmen students, 2018’s Fall Quarter was challenging and exhausting. After a six-week-long winter break, students were looking for motivation to continue their journey in academia.

To start the retreat, Viki

Grace Carson | Clarion

put up large posters all across the room. Each poster posed a different question, like “What do I want from NSA?,” “What do I want to change about NSA?” and “What is my favorite thing about NSA?” Students were allowed to put sticky notes onto the posters to answer the questions. One poster asked, “What is NSA to me?” Every answer students responded with had to do with family, community and the idea of a home away from home.

The retreat also gave students an opportunity to bond with other Native faculty.

Sophia Cisneros, an assistant professor in DU’s Department of Physics & Astronomy, taught the students how to weave baskets, which is a tradition carried by her tribe and many others. While weaving baskets, the students were able to relax and connect in a space of their own that was off DU’s campus—a space only made up of Native people.

Much of the rest of the night included bonding by making dinner, playing card games and sharing the struggles they faced this year in a sharing circle. Students described the experience as a weekend that was needed in order to rejuvenate for the quarter to come.

Salma Ramires Muro described the retreat as “an amazing thing that happened.” She said, “It made me feel closer to my peers, to my found family, and it made me really proud to be a part of NSA.” NSA has long served as a support system for Native students on DU’s campus. N. Rose said, “NSA here at DU has been a big help to me for staying in school. I feel like my first year was probably the year that, if I was gonna drop out, it was going to be that year, just cause it’s a lot of changes at once. It’s like, you’re a Native person, you’re not on the rez anymore, you’re in a school where the presence of people like you have always been marginalized… so, they’ve [NSA] been there for me. Every single week I would look forward to NSA cause this was a space I could be in that I don’t have to worry about if these people know who or what I am, and

they don’t care, regardless of this. And they were facing the same kind of outside pressures that I am, so they understand and I can talk to them about it, and we can all laugh and have fun in a room together for an hour.”

Expressing culture at a PWI NSA serves as a home away from home for Indigenous students on DU’s campus, and also a place where students are able to express their culture. A lot of times, these cultural practices are kept to themselves, such as participation in cultural ceremonies. But sometimes, the students offer to share aspects of their culture with the greater DU community.

One way that this has been done in the past is by hosting Indigenous fashion shows on campus. In October of 2018, DU and Native Max, a Native-owned fashion and lifestyle magazine based in Denver, teamed up to celebrate both Latinx Heritage Month and Native American Heritage Month by hosting a fashion show that exhibited the cultures of the Indigenous peoples of North and South America.

Another way that this has been done is with DU’s annual New Beginnings Pow Wow. The pow wow began in 2010 to celebrates culture and community, but also to specifically celebrate DU’s graduating students.

Every year since, NSA works together to organize the annual event that gets bigger each year. The pow wow draws hundreds of attendees not just from DU, but from tribes across Colorado, New Mexico, Minnesota, South Dakota and Wyoming.

Raelene Woody, as co-chair of NSA, has spent her last three years helping host the pow wow, and describes the event as one of the most meaningful things she has done as a student.

“I think the pow wow is the most meaningful time for me as a student, because we get a lot of Native people from the greater Denver area, rather than just DU. I think just having those people dance and having those prayers — having the ground feel those

Salma said, “[Hosting the pow wow] makes me feel so happy. The first thing I really did when I joined NSA was help out with the pow wow.

So, it was my first big event. It was the first thing that really integrated me in a group that I felt at home with.”

The pow wow is seen to Native students as a powerful event—an event in which Indigenous peoples make space for themselves to freely express their cultures in an institution that was not created for them, and that often times, fails them. To Indigenous students, hosting this pow wow is a small form of resistance.

the American Indian Movement (AIM) was a Native-led organization that addressed treaty issues, police brutality and racism against Indigenous peoples. In the following decades, the organization occupied Alcatraz Island, opened up “survival schools” for Native youth who had dropped out of high school, occupied Wounded Knee and more. After AIM, Indigenous activist groups have worked on combating racist mascots, such as the Washington “Redskins,” and have fought to protect the Earth, water and climate, such as with the famous #NoDAPL protests in 2016 fighting the installation of the Dakota Access Pipeline on the Standing Rock reservation in North Dakota.

Picking Mark Kennedy as CU president was a mistake

O

n May 2, The University of Colorado (CU) Board of Regents elected Mark Kennedy to become the next president of the University of Colorado system which is made up of four campuses and 67,000 students.

They, however, voted on party lines and against the recommendation of every student government organization, most of the faculty, parents, alumni, members of his previous university and more.

Mark Kennedy is most known before coming to Denver as being a representative in Congress for Minnesota between 2001 and 2007. He supported the Iraq War, supported a lifetime ban against members of Congress becoming lobbyists and generally held the reputation as a reformer. After being a representative, Kennedy served Bush and Obama as an advisor and also taught at Johns Hopkins and George Washington University. In 2016, Kennedy became president of the University of North Dakota.

During his tenure, Kennedy was not well-liked by faculty.

He cut budgets for many liberal arts programs and did not try to refill vacant positions. Foreign language programs were cut from six to two, while a new artificial intelligence lab received $10 million. Faculty argued that Kennedy’s plan for the university created a situation where the different programs competed against each other for funding.

While president, Kennedy also approached the University of Central Florida to become

their president, and there were rumors that he had also approached the University of Minnesota. One of the biggest controversies Kennedy had involved promoting his personal assistant to become his chief of staff. Kennedy’s new chief of staff was entitled to a $114,000 annual salary, including an allowance of $25,000 to $30,000. The justification for this allocation was that the chief of staff would be living in Texas and commuting, and therefore the allowance would pay for travel, housing and transportation. After some uproar, Kennedy responded to the grievances by saying to the Daily Camera that the uproar was caused by racism and sexism since his appointee was an African American woman: “I fear that part of the reason that that article got as much attention as it did is some people couldn’t understand how a young African-American woman from the South could be as qualified and worthy” to do the job as others, he said. “I’m quite confident it is about more than remote working.”

A central reason that students and faculty at CU are upset revolve back to his terms as U.S. representative. Twice he proposed amendments to ban same-sex marriage, and then he sponsored or co-sponsored various bills that allowed the federal government to not aid states who “discriminated” against adoption centers that stopped same-sex parents from adopting, put extreme restrictions on abortions and on the actions of doctors who performed them,

allowed the search of minors at schools, forced students and schools to recite the pledge and restricted stem cell research.

What makes the whole thing worse is that the regents did not listen to the CU community. The Anschutz campus, known for its medical research, was worried about Kennedy’s bill to restrict stem-cell research. According to the CU Faculty Council, 70% of faculty were worried or opposed to Kennedy’s nomination. As mentioned before, every student government organization voted for a resolution to oppose the nomination.

Regent Heidi Ganahl responded to this by sending this message to a student: “I’d like to ask that you take a step back and meet Mark Kennedy when he’s here, ask him tough questions and ask how he feels about these issues 20 years later.” Regent Chance Hill also responded to the CU students and faculty by saying, “They cannot toler-

ate the notion of a Republican occasionally challenging their liberal college fiefdoms where people suffer real negative consequences if they dare challenge the Leftist orthodoxy that dominates campus culture.”

The previous three CU presidents were Republicans.

The nomination of Mark Kennedy shows the major effect of party politics. The students and faculty of the CU system are receiving a president they did not want. Although they attended town halls to get their voices heard, the regents did not listen. Mark Kennedy does not have that many qualifications to become a president of a university as grand in size as CU. In many other situations, if anyone was as disliked by people as much as Mark Kennedy is disliked by the CU community, they would never be hired.

Companies exemplify the future of the workspace

W

hat does the future of the workspace look like?

The normal cubical/ office job won’t endure as the coming generations are looking for atypical work environments conducive to collaboration and socialization. To get an idea of what direction we’re heading towards, let’s look at a few companies taking the lead.

The guinea pig of such a change is Station F in France.

It is virtually a giant warehouse that was converted into a thinkspace in June 2017, for startups and entrepreneurs to hopefully find success in their work. It has an extremely open floor plan with over 3,000 desks and it promotes collaboration.

Station F seems most appealing to young entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneurship thrives off of ingenuity. In order for thoughts to incubate they must be in the right environment. Station F is set up so communication and brainstorming occurs frequently. Entrepreneurs don’t want the norms nor the basics, because that’s precisely what they’re trying to break through.

The work environment created in Station F is representative of the future. Currently, most workplaces in the U.S. are

rather bland with a basic office setup, accompanied with individual cubicles. The place that breaks the grain is BuzzFeed—

into BuzzFeed videos every now and then (who hasn’t?), and after watching a few videos it is pretty easy to get a feel for

and trust me, they’re anything but conventional, hence their success. Admittedly so, I cave

the company culture. Similar to Station F, there is a ton of open space, and the typical setup

looks like 10-or-so desks put together to form one huge table and each worker is sitting at a desk completing their own work.

BuzzFeed also has an abundance of studios, cafes and cafeterias where workers commonly collaborate. Also, if anyone has ever browsed the plethora of BuzzFeed videos, the bulk of them require quite a bit of “offthe-grain” thought processes.

Virtually all of the conglomerates in the U.S. are taking up a similar scene as Station F, another prominent company known for their amazing work atmosphere is Google. They literally have slides in the workplace, and there are daycares for the workers children and much more. It’s the future—work and life are no longer being accepted as two separate entities; spaces like Station F, Google and Buzzfeed are trying to make it where people feel like they never work a day in their life, and that sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

Successful companies no longer solely rely upon a good product and good benefits, much more of a preface is being placed on the social aspect and the work/life satisfaction.

“Game of Thrones” final season releases haunting soundtrack

H

BO’s successful fantasy TV show “Game of Thrones” premiered its eighth and final season on Apr. 14 along with the full track listing for its accompanying soundtrack entitled “For the Throne.” As fans eagerly wait to see who will claim the Iron Throne once and for all, they’ll have songs and scores that are nothing short of captivating.

The album was released Apr. 26 by Columbia Records. With 14 songs, the collection features a stunning lineup of artists such as The Weeknd, Ellie Goulding, Mumford & Sons, Travis Scott and Florence + The Machine among various others to create a beautifully memorable and poignant celebration of the “Game of Thrones” journey that has lead fans to season eight.

The second episode of the season, “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” exposed fans to Podrick’s rendition of “Jenny of Oldstones.” The song was then covered by Florence + The Machine for the album, a version that sends goosebumps through listeners as the lyrics ignite emotional uncertainty for whose deaths are to come in later episodes. The lyric video features scenes from the show’s first season, making the nostalgic impact even more unforgettable. The slow rhythm evokes not only a consideration for everything that the surviving characters will have to face in the final fight but also everything that the weathered characters have been through.

ter, was released in a spellbinding visual collage featuring some of the show’s most dramatic moments. In the lyric video, the song pays particular homage to two of the remaining survivors, Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen, by reliving some of their most heroic scenes with lyrics like “a knife in my heart couldn’t slow me down”—a heavy callback to Jon Snow’s death in the season five finale, or “my fire never goes out…now watch me burn it down”—a reference, of course, to none other than the Mother of Dragons herself.

In addition to the soundtrack, the “Game of Thrones” composer Ramin Djawadi also released a stand-alone, nine-minute track titled “The Night King,” which was introduced during the season’s third episode, “The Long Night.” It is perhaps just as popular as the soundtrack songs and is my personal favorite alongside Goulding’s “Hollow Crown.”

The arrangement opens with a haunting piano theme that plays during the Battle of Winterfell all the way through the end credits. As the song grows in disturbing intensity around the five minute mark, the climax of the episode parallels the invigorating melody, leading up to a heart-stopping crescendo as the final scene of the episode plays before the score retreats to its melancholy pace.

Given the show’s consistent themes of betrayal, love, sacrifice and power, shown through its addictive bloody and morally conflicting plot, it makes sense for a soundtrack to mirror that.

With that, “For the Throne” is not a happy compilation. Rather, it encompasses everything that made “Game of Thrones” the product that it is today and unifies talented artists under a singular underlying proposition: what would you be willing to do for the throne?

Not all songs on the album are dark and dreary. Ellie Goulding’s single “Hollow Crown” is not only fortifying with its rallying beats and brooding lyrics, but it is also highly reminiscent of the show’s defining tension and angst.

What to watch when you’re high

W

e’re nearing the end—finals season for some and midterms season for others (that good ol’ quarter system), and I don’t know about you but I’ve been constantly (constantly!) stressed. With the little leisure time I get to have between classes, homework and everything else, I find that watching TV is one of the best ways to temporarily rest my mind and ignore all of my responsibilities.

If you also like to watch TV to relieve stress, you’ll love watching TV while high (my guess is, you’re probably already familiar with the experience if you’re reading this article). It’ll make any show 10 times funnier/trippier; you’ll be so captivated by whatever you’re watching that you’ll forget the meaning of the word “responsibility.”

Here are some of the best shows to watch after you’ve smoked a jazz cigarette: Black Mirror Big Mouth Bob’s Burgers Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (If you have the munchies, it’s like a mukbang with Guy Fieri) Disjointed F*ck That’s Delicious The Golden Girls Key & Peele Martha and Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party Regular Show Rick and Morty (Yes, I KNOW everyone says this, but I think you’d question the validity of this list if this wasn’t on here).

Denver Milk Market has an array of choices

U

sually, at the back end of your local mall, you can always find a food court. I wouldn’t say this is an exceptional dining experience, it’s more so that you’re stuck in the confines of a huge building and by the time you realize it, you’ve definitely skipped a meal. But, as our gentrified city continues to show us, the congregation of food stands all within one area can be a fun and exciting time, if done right. Since Denver already has Denver Central Market and Denver Milk Market, it’s interesting to see if this young buck could hold its own with these well-established veterans. I don’t think there is a moment where the Moo Bar at the Denver Milk Market isn’t swarmed by people eating anything from Jewish-style deli sandwiches to multi-colored pasta or bao buns. Entering the Denver Central Market can be challenging on a warm day when the line for Highpoint Creamery extends out the door, with people dying for a bite of their latest collaboration with another vendor, Izzio’s Bakery —croissant-style French pastry ice cream sandwiches. But, Broadway Market was able to show its creative, innovative dishes that satisfy any foodie’s taste buds, even with the competition continuing to grow.

The sleek, white interior heightens its appeal by giving the appearance of newness.

From the second you step in, it feels a bit untouched because of its pristine polish. It seems they left it to the food to be the dashes of color that amplify the room, even though the huge windows allow for the sun to radiate in.

Each stall is planted like a food court but with each livening up their venue, it seems as if it was their own brick and mortar. The fare ranges from snacks to meals, which allows eating at the Broadway Market to be an activity for any time of day.

Tables with chairs for a proper feast contrast the comfortable lounging area that has a TV, ensuring you’ll stay a while. But even with the decor and interior to entice customers, the food is what draws you in.

The market wanted to hit every avenue with the food cultures they present. They acknowledge the early risers craving sugar at Glazed and Confused, one of the first stands to catch your eye as you walk in. They have the classic cake donut as their base and then go wild with toppings.

They have cereal donuts infused with CBD instead of milk.

The Elvis donut gets filled with a fluffernutter (peanut butter and marshmallow) cream and topped with bruleéd bananas and bacon bits to enhance the salty-sweet combo. The combination of Nutella and cinnamon makes perfect sense and yet they are the first to truly experiment with it. The crumble is just right and the yeast gives it the rise it deserves. It can either be a great beginning to the day or a sweet end to it.

The ideal lunch break resides Photo Courtesy of Denver Eater here with a ton of meal options.

A bed of ice houses fresh fish that, when sliced just right, will pair with the sticky, vinegar rice to make that ideal bite at Misaki.

They also shuck oysters fresh to ensure you get the feeling of being at the seaside. The plating is elaborate, but every garnish has a purpose. The variety of fish color the plate beautifully, while the nori is always crunchy—a trademark of a good sushi spot.

While I recommend making a sushi date to Sushi Den, this is the best option if you’re looking for something quick.

Then, strolling around the corner will drop you at an Indian bazaar with a depth of flavor that comes from more spices than I can count on my hands. Biju’s Little Curry Shop is a build-yourown concept which can make every experience unique as the rubs on the proteins change and their sauces alter due to what’s in abundance. The coconut curry arrives in its iconic golden color which is a clear indication of the medal it deserves. The turmeric and curry powder play off of each other to create that recognizable savory note, while the coconut brings in the cool sweetness to provide a creamy balance. Although the protein is all about personal preference, a requirement for this dish is their chapati flatbread. It’s a hybrid between roti and naan bread.

The resemblance to a tortilla makes it the perfect vessel for creating an Indian-style burrito.

This may be Chipotle’s newest competition, and it doesn’t even serve Mexican food. The chapati soaks up the juices from the tender chicken breast and the flavorful sauce that gets spooned on right before. The green arugula adds a peppery finish and fresh note that any good dish needs. A bit of crunch surprises you when you munch on the toasted coconut shavings. The mango chutney is also a delicious addition. It is a fun homage to the food from south India.

There is not a lack of options here at the Broadway market which makes it a great candidate to continue to explore.

The chocolate truffles look like paintings and the Roman-style pizza needs to be cut with scissors because the dough resembles focaccia more than iconic New York-style pizza. Or escape your wheelhouse with Turkish delights—their spiced fries beat out any salt bomb you’re used to. While the flavors and execution of their food far surpass that of a mall, the buzz of people and lively atmosphere will make you feel like you’re waiting in line for steaming cinnamon buns or the typical lo mein and orange chicken dinner.

Julie Snyder and the creation of “Serial”

I

f you’re a fan of narrative podcasts, “Serial,” “This American Life” or “S-Town,” then you have podcast extraordinaire Julie Snyder to thank.

Although we rarely actually hear her speak in the podcasts, Snyder has served as a producer for “This American Life” and later co-creator and producer of “Serial.” She has acted as a creative force behind the intricate and suspenseful stories that listeners of the podcasts have grown to tune into obsessively.

In a recent phone interview with her, Snyder discussed the intricacies of creating a podcast, the evolution of “Serial” over the years and her favorite career memories to date.

“Serial,” an investigative journalism podcast, started as a nonfiction story that spanned over multiple episodes. Season one focused on the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee, while season two focused on Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl. However, sea-

son three took a deeper dive into the criminal justice system as a whole.

When asked why “Serial” started exploring the larger apparatus of the criminal justice system rather than a single case, Snyder explained how her lifelong interest in the criminal justice system and criminal justice reporting influenced the most recent season.

“I have always been interested in the criminal justice system and how it is reported. After the first season [of “Serial”] there was so much interest in the criminal justice system and talking about what was wrong with it and reforms… I think a lot of that was spurned off things like the Black Lives Matter movement which has been an incredible catalyst.”

Snyder went on to explain how, although flashier cases like Adnan Syed may give you a glance into aspects of the criminal justice system, they are not indicative of what typically happens in a courthouse everyday,

and how they aren’t the type of cases that most reporters pause over.

Curiosity like this is key to creating a podcast. However, there’s more than simple interest that goes into creating as successful of a podcast as Snyder has. When asked about her tips towards podcast success, the queen of podcasting explained that time budgeting, the willingness to abandon certain stories, fine tuning and a lot of feedback are key. According to Snyder, the first and second episode of a series will be edited around 15 to 20 times.

Despite the dead ends and multiple edits, she has faced throughout her podcasting career, there have been just as many highlights. When asked what her favorite memory of “Serial” was, she described the terrifying yet extremely gratifying and fun moments of the first season with production team Sarah Koenig and Dana Chivvis, as well as a moment on their last

episode of the first season.

“Right at the very end of the first season [of “Serial”] Dana Chivvis laid out this very succinct and articulate theory on why she thought it was improbable that Adnan didn’t do it [kill Hae Min Lee]. I remember right at the end, Sarah just whispered into the microphone ‘you’re fired’ and it was just the funniest thing. It really showed our relationships with one another.”

Ruining “Game of Thrones” Photo courtesy of PopArtUK

“

Look how they have massacred my boy.” These famous words by Don Corleone in “The Godfather” perfectly exemplify the newest and last season of “Game of Thrones.” David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have destroyed one of the greatest shows on television. Here are the major reasons from this and last season (warning: there are spoilers).

1. Reason & logic have left the show: In a show about dragons and White Walkers, we can cut it some slack on realism, but this season and last season have just gotten a bit ridiculous. In season seven, episode six, Daenerys saves Jon Snow and company from the White Walkers with her dragons. She, however, was in Dragonstone which is 1,500 miles away from The Wall. This means that a raven had to fly from Castle Black to Dragonstone then Daenerys to The Wall in at most a few hours based off of the light changes in the episode. Now the only way this is possible is if both the raven and Daenerys’s dragons were all F-22 Raptor fighter jets, which is very unlikely based off of travel times in the rest of the show.

Also Daenerys herself would not have survived the journey if she

were traveling at those speeds.

In episode four of season eight, Rhaegal was killed in an ambush by Euron Greyjoy.

Rhaegal was shot multiple times by ballistae with such pinpoint accuracy that the show is just being ridiculous.

How are all those soldiers supposed to hit a moving target while on a moving boat and operating a newly invented weapon with which they surely do not have a surplus of practice?

2. Continuity is gone: The White Walkers are built up for eight seasons. They are seen as the primary threat in “Game of Thrones.” Then a 110-pound girl just ends it. I cannot even begin to describe how anticlimactic this is. It goes against all of the prophecies and buildup this show has done. It's like if Tony Stark killed Thanos in the first Avengers movie, and all the rest of the Avengers movies were about fighting Ebony Maw (and if you don’t remember who that is, you see my point).

In episode four of season eight, Cersei has the chance to kill Daenerys, Drogon and all of Daenerys’s advisors if she let her ballistae and archers fire during the negotiation scene outside King’s Landing. It was very out

of character not to do this because she is known for making large plays without caring for the consequences (example: blowing up the Sept of Baelor).

What is going on with Jamie?

He had this brilliant redemption arc that spanned almost the entire show. He finally decides to be a good man and follow his oath as a knight, but then he just throws it all away for Cersei.

3. Characters being dumb Varys and Tyrion were the smartest people in “Game of Thrones” for a long time, but in this season they both have failed to give Daenerys any good advice. They have helped her lose both Dorne and the Reach, and they advised her not to attack Cersei when she had the upper hand. If Daenerys ends up losing to Cersei, then Varys and Tyrion have single-handedly lost one of the biggest leads in TV history.

Why couldn’t Jon just keep his mouth shut about his parentage? He claims that he had to tell his family, but his role model, Ned Stark, kept the secret for years without telling anyone.

Then when he tells them, Arya leaves even though she said moments before that “We are the last Starks,” seemingly meaning they need to stick together. Then Sansa, who swore not to tell, in-

stantly told Tyrion. I mean come on: your dad took that secret to the grave, and you couldn’t keep it for five minutes?

Sansa irrationally hates Daenerys. She has no reason to hate Daenerys, yet she is constantly undermining and insulting her. She also has this weird idea that Jon would be a better ruler, but whenever Jon makes a decision she undermines him as well.

But regardless of how stupid the characters are, or how illogical the show is, what really matters is the entertainment value, and this season has lacked that.

The Battle for Winterfell was supposed to be the biggest and best battle of the show, but it was very lacking. It was quite dark, and it was mostly just people being overwhelmed by wights.

It lacked the cool sword fights and grittiness that made us love previous battles. The plot seems rushed and unfinished, as if the producers just wanted to get it over with. It breaks my heart to see a show that I love fall to pieces. Hopefully, George R.R. Martin releases the next book soon.
