The SOTA Pop Podcast

S8E31 Christmas in... May? A joyful recap with the hosts.

In this weeks episode, Dottie and Brandon take a look back at the beautiful year they have had through some of their projects from this semester. They also look back at some earlier SOTA Pop episodes from their time and before! Catch the injustice league making an appearance in this episode. Also, Santa Claus has begun to haunt their projects, so keep a look out for that guy. 

It's been a long semester for everyone I'm sure, but we are super thankful for all of y'all who have stuck around with us so far. This season has shown us just how much our fans appreciate our content and it has been extremely apparent to us. So thank you for listening to a couple of college kids and watching these dumb edits I get to make. We wouldn't be here without you guys.

S8 Ep29 We HATE Art. The Hosts' Hot Takes Episode

We hate art, and that's why we've been gone.

Just kidding, we missed you all!!! The end of the semester just gets hectic for college students, and we've been dealing with everything from car crashes to school work, but we're back now. In this episode, we discuss our hot takes on the arts.

Also, we've got some surprises coming up, so thanks for sticking with us. It truly means a lot!

S8 E28 Caught Sleeping On the Job?? A very feline session with the UNA Lions!

In this weeks episode, our guests are oddly...quiet?? We had the honor of being joined by campus celebrities, Leo and Una the Lions! They got to.. well.. do something on the podcast. Turns out its harder than you'd think to run a podcast when your guests aren't very talkative. Even so, they updated us on all the mascot tea, including their personal kiss, marry, and eats for other mascots. Stick around through naptime to get some great laughs from this weeks guest.

Hey everyone, I'm so sorry for not getting an episode out last week. Spring Break #spring broke my life and I had quite a few mix ups. We should be back on regular schedule for the rest of this season now, so don't worry about any more crazy unexpected absences.
