Experience the Park….Kinda: Season 2, Episode 1 Christmas Comedown

A Podcast from Carter Bauer and Maliah Miskiewicz

Carter Bauer and Maliah Miskiewicz • December 18, 2023

Experience the Park through the eyes of Carter and Maliah. Their junior year has started in many conventional ways with stress over classes, SAT scores, and the relentless existential crisis of the future. Of course, the Winter Break offers a glimmer of hope and cheer, but our duo also consider the “Christmas Comedown.” This episode features special guests from our student council, English department chair, Dr. Romick, and school counselor, Mrs. Mathieu.
