Ethical Rioting

Ah, yes, the good old hamster ball. Well, friends. You may have wondered “Where did Ethical Rioting go?” It went to the graveyard of good ideas that sound cool and doable until you actually have to do them. It burned in the dumpster fire of 2020.Who knows what this space will become? Perhaps a glorious phoenix will rise from the ashes. Or a Titan being released from Tartarus. Or not.If you still want to say hi, let Katrina know you were listening, you can email ethicalrioting AT gmail DOT com.

Clockwise from Left to Right: Matthew, Katrina and Kyle It’s here! We made it to 20 episodes! Kyle Buchman joined Matthew and Katrina to talk about birding and cooking in cast iron skillets.

Julia, class of '01, joined us!

Friends! We did it! An episode two months in a row, posted on time, and even including that fancy introduction I recorded. It’s amazing what Zoom meetings will lead to.Anyway, we had Priya Parrish, class of 2001, on along with our full complement of hosts and, yes, there was a hot debate about pizza. Prepare yourselves. That’s Priya in the up left, then Katrina, and those three handsome men are Matthew, Lance and Steve (clockwise from right).

Matthew, Steve and Katrina discuss how they're doing during the global pandemic.

Yes, yes, I know. We missed three months, and we owe you. But! Here’s a podcast for May! This one has a gigantic cast of characters featuring non-IMSAns, and many from class of 2001 plus one person from class of 2005. It’s even more special because it was recorded during Katrina’s bachelorette party. We finished the Escape Room in less than an hour - without any hints! These are very smart people. From left to right: Megan Ladror, Steve, Katie Beeks, Matthew, and Katrina’s in front with the crown and sword.

On January 1, 2019 all of the hosts were in the same city. So we put them all in the same room and recorded a podcast! With special appearance by Lance’s wife, Megan. We’re gonna do it this year, you guys. We’re going publish 12 episodes. From Left to Right that’s Steve, Megan, Lance, Matthew and Katrina, and we’re all flaunting our mugs that used to hold Nutella hot chocolate.

On the first day of 2019, we bring you the last episode of 2018. It’s a hostful, with some basic structure. We tried. And we promise to try to do better in 2019. Promise is a strong word. We intend to do better in 2019. This is our fancy podcasting setup. My computer, a tray table that gets flipped, and a couch. From Left to Right: Steve, Matthew and Katrina A blurry selfie Also a blurry selfie, but adorable, yes?

Is it lucky episode 13? Featuring the original host Lance? Because he was back in Chicago for a hot second? Yes, yes it is. You’re welcome. Lance on the left with the ukulele and Katrina on the right with Pepe the decorative gourd.

Did we miss two months? Yes, we did. Was it because Katrina didn’t take the time to upload episodes immediately after they were recorded because she was working an intense job that sucked up all her time? Yes, it was. BUT. Now, it is, once more, the 19th of the month, and we are posting TWO episodes. To make up for September and October. We’re still 2 months behind, and we need to record November’s episode, and Matthew owes many recipes for leafy vegetables - especially after he point blank refused to take Katrina’s cabbage - but here’s two episodes to tide you over, faithful fans. We’re eating pancakes into the microphone. Somehow, we still have listeners. And friends. That’s Katrina and Arthur and Matthew. A close-up of the aforementioned eating of pancakes. Matthew was fascinated at how perfectly the squash fit in his hand. It is concerning as the squash gets closer? IS IT?!?!

Aaaaaand we're back! After a two month drought because Katrina was in San Diego, she dragged Matthew and Steve back to talk about vegetables and podcasting and googling things. Turns out, Steve will actually speak loudly when talking about the history of mathematics. Katrina had less frantic gesticulating than usual, and Matthew was charming and knowledgeable about vegetables, as always. Left to Right, that's Steve with cilantro, Matthew with eggplant and Katrina with summer savory. Kale chips - unless they are mustard greens chips. Corn O'Brien, or as Matthew calls it, succatash. Melon, Cucumber, Tomato Salad. Katrina eating the roasted corn on the cob she made from the first CSA box.

Good news everyone! Matthew Knisley promises he will send over four leafy vegetables soon. Real soon!In the meantime, have a podcast with class of 2002'er, Chelsea Lynn. Steve talked quietly, Katrina talked loudly (but did not gesticulate much, sadly), and Chelsea filled us in on her life.We forgot to take photos, sadly.

Yes, yes it is the ninth episode! Right on time! Featuring our intrepid hosts - no, Lance was not available - Katrina, Steve and Matthew. Yes, Matthew has been promoted to host because, really, why not. He's been on a third of the podcasts.He promised to send Katrina three leafy vegetables, so keep an eye out for that. In this episode Katrina talks loudly and gesticulates wildly, we come up with numerous ideas for bonus episodes and other podcasts, talk about sponsors, Matthew drinks tea, and Steve talks just loud enough if the microphone is pointed in his direction.Also, we mention Rockapella and the Foldgers commercial from the 90's, so why not include that below? Katrina, Steve and Matthew drinking tea into the microphone. Katrina and Matthew agreed to smile for the camera. Steve refused.

Gentle readers and listeners! The March podcast is late, but it's here! Featuring a member of the class of 1999 (we're really branching out these days!), Osman Ahmed! We had a great conversation (for two and a half hours!) (Don't worry, only the last hour and a half is recorded.) (Because Steve was late. Really late.).I know, I know, you're wondering where the February and March leafy vegetables are. Well, feel free to harass Matthew about that. We'll just have to feature three leafy vegetables in April. And Katrina signed up for a CSA this summer, so fresh leafy vegetables will be all the rage.Also, Katrina has successfully eaten at least one vegetable a day for the last two weeks. That's a big deal for her, OKAY? Osman generously brought sparkling cider in honor of Katrina's recent engagement, so we had to take a selfie with it.From left to right, that's Steve, Osman, Katrina and Google Monkey. (Colloquially, he goes by Nick.) (Google Monkey made a brief appearance on this month's podcast.) The toast! With mugs! Osman also brought cupcakes in honor of Katrina and Google Monkey's engagement, so a cupcake selfie must be had! (They were delicious - tiny little bundt cakes.) Anyway, Katrina has a fancy Samsung Galaxy S7 phone that will take a selfie if you just hold your palm up. It recognizes the palm, then sets a timer and three seconds later - selfie! Osman was so excited about this new technology, that he didn't move his hand in time.Left to right: Steve, Osman, Katrina, Google Monkey Osman sporting his IMSA soccer jacket, circa 1999. Stylish IMSA fashion, that.

We know, gentle listeners (and readers), we know. You're wondering what happened to February. No leafy vegetable assignment, no podcast... Well, it's March now and we're gonna fix that! Here's a podcast for you - and hopefully we'll have an extra leafy vegetable for you too!This podcast is exciting because (drum roll please) it's the first podcast where Katrina hosts by herself. And and AND it's the first podcast where the guest is not a member of the class of 2001. Introducing Kori Pacyniak, class of 2000. That's Katrina on the left and Kori on the right.

Look at those cuties. We're (almost) in age order, with the oldest in front. For episode 6 (Six! Can you believe we made it to six episodes?! It only took us a year!) (To the day. This is posting one year after we recorded our first podcast.)We ventured to the west coast for this one - interviewing Yisong Yue (class of 2001) in his office at CalTech. Steve couldn't join us, so it was Lance asking pointed questions - and playing the uke - while Katrina wildly gesticulated. Lance's wife, Dr. Megan Rexius-Hall, filled in for Steve. Katrina's in front with Dr. Megan Rexius-Hall to the left. Going clockwise, that makes a Lance the tall guy in back and Yisong on the right.

On January 1, 2018 we recorded an episode of your favorite podcast. ("Your favorite" should be in quotes. Maybe Ethical Rioting really is your favorite. Who knows?)Steve hosted at his place while Katrina gesticulated wildly. Matthew Knisley was the guest - let's be honest he's more of a sub-host - and Stephanie Hanson (class of 2001) also joined as a guest.There was non-alcoholic sparkling cider and champagne - as appropriate for the new year. Here's to 2018.

It's here! Episode 3! It's 2/3 of a hostful. It's been awhile, so it seemed a good idea to have an episode just talking to the hosts. Lance talks about narrative medicine and storytelling, and Katrina talks about... the Odyssey? Where's Steve? Steve couldn't make it. This is what Katrina's foyer closet looks like - Real Simple, feel free to contact her at anytime. It's okay to be jealous.

Lance gets Matthew to talk about himself while Katrina goes on tangents and Steve is quiet.
