Spotify Wrapped and Radio Wrapped on the same day??? We aim to please. To round off 2024 with a bang, our Digital Press Department asked UCLA Radio members across all departments for their top albums of the year. The results came in and, boy, do we have things to say. Now it’s your turn to…
DIGIWEEN 2024: WHAT SCARES YOU?
Gone is the reign of ghosts, goblins, and ghouls. 2024 has much scarier skeletons in its closet. From bloodwork to blondes to the existential thought of becoming your own worst enemy, it seems Halloween is a whole lot scarier as an adult (forget trick-or-treating, I need to get-a-job). Fortunately for you, UCLA Radio’s Digital Press…

Postcards From Radio
As the rainy Winter quarter comes to a close and dreaded finals fill up every library in sight, our Digi-Press members wanted to reflect back to a time before the chaos. And yes, if you haven’t guessed by the title, did you even know we studied abroad? From salsa dancing in Chile to buying pain…

The Unsent Project: Radio’s Ruminations on Romance
Exactly a year ago, we were nosy. Nosy about the UCLA student body’s situationship statuses, their one-sided crushes, their greatest desires, how they defined “love.” That’s what it keeps circling on back to, isn’t it? We are curious about love and we let it consume us. We spend our lives sketching its different shapes, deciphering…
