Welcome to “What’s the buzz?” podcast edition! The buzz peeps are so excited to share their first podcast episode full of more fun content with you. Today, Ava, Becca, Carolina, Jill, and Liam discuss activities they’ve been doing in quarantine, from learning how to make the best scrambled eggs, to binging Tiger King. They also talk all about the transition to online classes and what they miss most about the UIUC campus. This show’s playlist theme is quarantine tunes, and you can find all of the buzz team’s picks on the buzz Spotify, @buzzmagcu.

This week on "What's the buzz?" the buzz team analyzes popular dating shows and discusses some weird dreams they've had that may or may not involve Princess Diana and tree monsters... Some places have already announced plans for reopening amid the coronavirus pandemic, and the buzz team shares their opinions about some of the decisions being made regarding these places reopening. Next, they talk about their experiences with ordering and picking up food during these times and share their go-to food places during quarantine. Finally, the buzz peeps share their thoughts about certain music festivals and concerts having to be canceled this summer.

This week, the buzz team recaps finals week, and Liam graduates! (Don't worry - he'll still be doing "What's the buzz?" this summer!) They dive deep into mental health and self-care, describing different ways they practice self-care. They also discuss their quarantine predictions for when and if they think places, such as UIUC, will reopen. COVID-19 has greatly impacted the job market, too, which has, in turn, affected students' job and internship searches. The buzz team discusses the ways they have been affected personally and what they plan on doing during the summer in place of canceled jobs and internships. Lastly, they recap buzz content that the buzz staff has produced throughout the year and share their favorite articles they've written.
