This week, we bring you some people that change your minds about certain school subjects and their applications. Their passion for their respective areas really shine through, so please, give it a listen.

Our first guest is Christina Pappous, a history major currently Washington D.C. on the UCDC program. In the second half, we have Tania Reza, an art history/social ecology double, and the founder of the non-profit organization, Create Progress.

Episode 6 - The Impact of Education

Three students come forward with stories from their childhood regarding the teasing, the taunting, and the bullying. They involved stories about being victimized and stories of victimizing others. 

Episode 7 - Sticks and Stones

While I was interviewing for this week's show, one of my guests became quite distressed and made it known. I compiled all of these sound bits into a single clip.

What was the cause of this distress? Find out this week, on Convos at the Counter, Fridays at 4:30pm, on KUCI, 88.9FM Irvine.

Ewwww!

What do coral, coccolithophores, bowls of blueberries, marbles, fish, and birds have in common?

Well, people have a phobia of them. This week, we're hearing stories about phobias concerning all of the above. Special thanks to our three guests this week, Jennifer Duong, Lisa Ko, and Stephanie Mikamo. 

Episode 8 - Phobias

This week, boy and girls meet. Sometimes, hilarity ensues, and maybe for one party. This episode contains some of these possibly cringe-worthy moments, but that's totally okay because it's probably happened to you before. 

Episode 9 - Awkward Encounters with the Opposite Sex

This is the last episode of Convos at the Counter, where we explore some stories regarding culture, especially examining some things that happen when two cultures collide. This week's guests are Jennifer Ock, Joy Shropshire, and Grace Kim.

Episode 10 - Culture Shock

Convos at the Counter is a brand new storytelling public affairs show produced and hosted by Angela Gao. It broadcasts from 88.9FM KUCI in Irvine, California and can be heard all over Orange County on Fridays from 4:30-5:00pm.

The show highlights the extraordinary stories from the lives of ordinary people. They are your neighborhood actors, writers, artists, chefs, teachers, businessmen, students, bus drivers, stay-at-home moms. They are the people that you might find in the blur of your daily commute, but hey, slow down. Linger. Give their stories a listen. You might find that you have much more in common with them than you would have ever expected.
