“I Call Shotgun! – Ride 1” is coming in hot with its first-ever episode! And now it is here with college stories from two college students building their futures while away from home.

The time is finally here! The perfect car ride companion is here after three months, ready to play from your speakers! The podcast is ready to be listened to by anyone and everyone! If you’re looking for a podcast that makes you feel as if you’re in the backseat of your friend’s car, you’ve come to the right place.

Kicking off this first episode strong is an episode that is comforting and almost familiar ride. With Kristen and not only her shotgun rider but another friend in the backseat, the podcast takes place during a late-night drive throughout College Station. There’s no real destination in mind as the three travel around main roads and back roads, dark paths and neon signs, to do nothing but get some good discussions in. 

With her close friends, it is no surprise how long the both of them can talk. The three are able to share their stories about their first two years in college at Texas A&M University. The three are connected through the FLO that they are all a part of, which becomes the main topic of conversation. At the top of a parking garage, the three speak about their experiences, how they ended up there, and how they feel about the school year coming to an end. Nothing is off limits between three friends chatting it up and the listener: you!

So buckle up, roll down the windows, and join us! Whether you’re a college student yourself or just looking for a fun ride, “I Call Shotgun!” is the perfect podcast to listen to! Find the podcast over at https://agcj366.tamu.edu/ and on Spotify.

Don’t Be A Stick In The Muck, Episode 2; The P Word

Calling all muckrakers! Your favorite muck-free podcast, Don’t Be A Stick In The Muck, is glad to present a new episode; The P Word!

Before college I didn’t know the first thing about what goes into The P Word…Yes, that P word…Politics.

In this episode we bring in Political Science student, and soon to be graduate, Jackson Hennigan to talk more about how he got involved in this major and why it is important to our society.

To learn more about what goes into this dense topic, these are some action steps that I would encourage you to take:

  •  Politics can be tricky, and to determine whether or not you want to get involved is the very first step you have to determine.
    • This could involve some pretty intense soul-searching, so I would do this before getting involved in anything too serious.
  • Just because your family members have a certain political affiliation does not mean that you, by default, will have to join this same political affiliation.
    • However, by looking at what your family’s political affiliations are, you can set a basis for your own.
    • Traditionally, our values growing up help to shape our values into adulthood.
  • Look into what you are passionate about and do some research on what legislation is being passed towards this action.
  • If the thought of politics still seriously freaks you out, check out this cheat sheet: Politics for Dummies.

We hope to serve as your guide for taking those baby steps towards becoming an active member of today’s political society. We aren’t saying you have to agree with our values, our political affiliations, or anything as a whole. We just ask that you bring an open mind!

That’s all for today! To join the muckraking society, or find more episodes of our podcast, click this link to find our website!

More Than Man’s Best Friend – Episode 2

Join host Ellie Rau in this week’s episode to learn how service dogs improve the lives of veterans and how those veterans build a relationship with the adult dog they receive. 

Service dog training typically takes around 2 to 2.5 years to create a reliable, well mannered, and capable dog. Service dogs in some cases are just as vital to their handler as a wheelchair, cane, or prosthetic device. They can provide life saving blood sugar and seizure alerts, retrieve someone to help in an emergency, provide comfort during anxious situations, and so much more.

Veterans who return with PTSD and mobility disabilities are among the ones in need of service dogs most. Listen in to hear how veteran Shane Ayres learned how to bond to Tango, the 2.5 yr old service dog he received in the Summer of 2020 and how that dog has enriched his life.

Join host Ellie Rau in this week’s episode to learn how teaching your dog basic obedience cultivates a better relationship between you and your pet!

Obedience training is something a lot of dog owners look into when they first bring home a new puppy, but is not often something that is maintained consistently throughout a dog’s life. This can create problems down the line, where dogs begin misbehaving, unclear of what rules they should or should not follow, all due to a lack of understanding between the person and their pet. A dog that has a solid foundation of obedience training not only is more well behaved, but is usually happier and feels more understood.

You can look forward to hearing from expert dog trainer and president of Patriot Paws of Aggieland, Shelby McMillan. She will explain how basic obedience plays a big role in not just service dog training, but a normal pet’s everyday life as well.

Hello! We are so excited for today’s episode where we will be talking about my list of Must-have items for dog moms. First, we will talk about my absolute favorite dog bandana company The Deluxe Pup, they make the most aesthetic and trendy bandanas for your pup! Another must-have item is a BarkBox  Super Chewer subscription. My pups both love to chew and this subscription provides the best quality toys and treats each month. They also have AMAZING customer service and work with you to make sure the needs of your dogs are met.  If you are wanting to do any sort of DNA or genetic/health testing on your dog, I cannot recommend Embark Vet enough! The process was super quick and easy and they keep you informed throughout the entire process from start to finish. If you have a dog that sheds the Chom Chom roller will be your new favorite household item, it removes dog hair off of practically any surface and does not require power to use. One of my favorite ways to keep my dogs stimulated and entertained is puzzle feeders, my favorite company that makes them is called Outward Hound! Another tried and true dog mom item is the classic KONG, not only are they a toy but can also be used as a treat dispenser. Listen to today’s episode for my favorite KONG recipe! A deodorizer is a Must-have item, especially for dogs who like to sunbathe and play, my favorite is Skout’s Honor Probiotic Deodorizer. Be sure to check out these must-have dog mom items!
