Also isn’t it obvious that Leah and Wyatt are made for each other based on their mutual love for jingles?! Big shoutout to fr. Bruno Cassidy who is forever our sponsor due to his prayers from the monastery. We love you all. *Note the Kissinger's were in attendance but could not take comment at this time*2024-04-3010 min11th TraktRapid Hot Takes - Fall '22It's been a while but we didn't forget you Fall 2022!

Low including accidentally going to Germany. Brian Kissinger does get a shout-out, duh. We talk about all the feels of going back home at the end of the semester. How we and others have done it well and have done it horribly. Cause sometimes going home is the biggest culture shock you've had during the whole study abroad experience. HOT TAKE: Be ok with th...2023-04-1322 min11th TraktHot or Not: Graphic Tees in EuropeThis is basically a big public service announcement to console Haleigh about her broken dishwasher. Just kidding. We talk about the Christmas tree and the holiday cheer that is amongst us in the Kartasue. As well as a nice little shout out to our maintenance king Martin Mika. This may not be a hot take per se… but we have some fun things we want to share.

We’ve been some places, we’ve seen some things, and we’ve taken a lot of forms of transportations to get there.Do Americans just hate public transportation because we aren’t use to it? Planes, trains, automobiles?HOT TAKE: Public transportation is better for the human person’s experience...2022-12-0115 min11th TraktDating in Austria Part IIFor all those waiting in eager anticipation…here’s Mary and Haleigh’s hot take and advice on why you should date in Austria.

Also a few guest appearances from some faculty and alumni! We are cookin’ on a part II of this one, so come...2022-10-1125 min11th TraktKeep Yo’ Shoes OnAnother episode that may not win us more friends. Shoes. No shoes. For some reason this is a debate at Franciscan university of Steubenville. We argue the rest of the world kinda has a grip on when to wear shoes and when to go barefoot, but sometimes there needs to be some further clarification for us Frannies. There is a time for all things - a time to be barefoot and a time to have shoes on… let’s explore them together. Are shoes are little jails for your feet though?2022-09-1422 min11th TraktDon’t Do it for the GramWe’re back for season 3! Haleigh and Mary kick off the fall 22 semester LIVE from Stift Melk.
