Podcasts about Arizona State University

This Week: There's a lot going on… and it's a hot mess.  Tuskegee University, one of the pillars of HBCUs in America, announces a new dress code that prevents students from wearing things like duy-rags, bonnets, and bedroom shoes in classes, dining halls, and other academic settings. The administration says it's part of the school's “responsibility to prepare its students for professional environments after graduation.” A small school district in Western NY state, serving an Indian reservation community, aborts a plan to use life-like, AI powered robots in the classroom, built by a company best known for making sex robots. Sadly, you read that correctly. And, Arizona State University announces a new major focused on helping people become social media influencers. Is it just an institutional money grab, or a legit path to a career in a massive industry? Manuel and Jeff discuss!  All of the Above sends our condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of noted Denver educator and co-host of the Too Dope Teachers and Mic podcast, Kevin Adams.  Check out this beautiful profile of Kevin in NEA Today, and his first appearance with us on All of the Above back in 2020.

It's a lighter Friday edition of Shoot Around, just Horry and Rob Jenners running through the week's fan questions and whatever's been living in their group chat.   They start with Austin Reaves catching heat for putting himself in his own all-time starting five (next to Steph, Kobe, LeBron, and Shaq, for the record), then get into Arizona State's new bachelor's degree in "influencing" and whether that's actually a legitimate skill set or just a punchline. That turns into a fun tangent about what they'd each go back to school for if money and logic weren't an issue.   From there it's an equitable-grading-scale story that has both of them fired up, a debate about participation trophies, and a trip down memory lane on old-school discipline. Then the mood shifts: Rick Moranis got a five-minute standing ovation at Comic-Con after coming out of retirement for Spaceballs 2, and the guys get into why that moment hit different, along with the actual Spaceballs 2 synopsis and whether it can live up to the original.   They close it out plotting their own eventual Comic-Con trip, including costume ideas for a seven-foot-tall Robert Horry.   00:00  Cold Open & Friday Check-In 01:36  Austin Reaves' All-Time Starting Five 03:57  Arizona State's Degree in Influencing 07:09  What They'd Go Back to School For 10:02  The Equitable Grading Scale Debate 12:34  Participation Trophies & Old-School Discipline 13:57  Rick Moranis' Comic-Con Standing Ovation 15:43  Spaceballs 2 Is Actually Happening 17:54  Comic-Con Costume Ideas & Bucket List

LeBron James is a Philadelphia 76er, and his No. 23 jersey just became the best selling jersey ever for a player joining a new team in the first 48 hours across all sports, passing Shohei Ohtani's 2023 Dodgers record. Covino and Rich dig into what that says about LeBron's pull at 41, then settle which LeBron jersey you buy and keep forever once he retires, before laying out the official Covino and Rich jersey rules: when you temporarily retire a traded player's jersey, why grown men should stick with the legends, the Yankee rule, and the only acceptable way to put your own name on the back. From there it's the Shaq debate (90s pinstripe Magic or Lakers purple and gold), Arizona State becoming the first school in the country to offer a content creation major and whether any parent should cough up $100,000 a year for a kid to study influencing, and a full rundown of must have backyard games, from cornhole to a ten dollar HomeGoods ring toss to an argument about how to pronounce badminton that nobody wins.

LeBron James is a Philadelphia 76er, the Warriors still need to upgrade their roster, and the Dodgers are one week away from deciding whether Tarik Skubal is worth the farm. This week Big Ben and K Winn break down the LeBron to Philly move, the Golden State trade that actually makes sense, and the biggest names on the MLB deadline board. We start with the five grill masters problem in Philly. LeBron, Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe in one starting five, and nobody in that locker room volunteering to defer. K Winn lays out why Cleveland was the plan until Jaylen Brown got traded. Big Ben makes the case that this is a media market play, five titles in four cities. Then we tell Mike Dunleavy exactly what to do: trade for Trey Murphy III, pair him with Yaxel Lendeborg, and stop chasing veterans on the back nine. We hit Skubal, Mason Miller and the 46-46 Padres, whether Dante Moore and Oregon can win a College Football Natty, and Arizona State launches a new influencer degree.

Hour 1: Sarah and Vinnie can't stop thinking about last week's Bad Advice. So what if you are a bad person? Matty went on a date! Let's ask invasive questions about how it went. ‘The Odyssey' is still kicking it at the box office. Toy Story 5 hit $1 Billion. Don't forget to do your homework for Bob's Movie Club. This week it's Raising Arizona (1987). Spain and France are seeing hundreds of thousands evacuated due to wildfires. A woman on a cruise ship is going viral for vile behavior with a fork. California Grizzly bears are extinct? Hour 2: What if you just called Snoop Dogg up? Bob had her first stress dream about radio. Comic-Con is in the headlines, and the hype is starting to build around Dungeon Crawler Carl. However, the biggest news is obviously about Ryan Gosling.

It's a job that didn't exist a few years ago, but it's now essential: College football general manager. Arizona State hired Josh Omura for the role early in 2025, and he oversees just how this Sun Devils' roster is constructed. On this episode, we take a deep dive into the rapidly-changing landscape, building a roster in a revenue-sharing era with ASU's resources, balancing portal and high school signees, working with the coaching staff, player agents, contracts, and so much more.

In this episode, we finish our Big 12 preview with the conference’s final eight teams: Utah, Houston, TCU, Arizona, Arizona State, Oklahoma State, UCF and Cincinnati. This preview features plenty of teams on the cusp of a breakthrough or a frustrating step backward. We start with Utah’s transition from Kyle Whittingham to Morgan Scalley and ask how much of the program’s familiar identity can survive a major staff and roster reset. From there, we dig into Houston’s contender case, TCU’s new quarterback and offensive coordinator, Arizona’s attempt to build on last year’s rebound, and Arizona State’s high-variance setup around a talented but unsettled offense. Then, Ty makes the full-throated case for an Oklahoma State revival under Eric Morris and Drew Mestemaker, while Dan tries to keep expectations somewhere near Earth. We also break down whether UCF can make the Year 2 jump under Scott Frost and whether Cincinnati can survive massive turnover by leaning on one of the Big 12’s best offensive lines. Plus: Wile E. Coyote branches, short quarterbacks, soufflé assembly and an impromptu summer tennis preview.

The Arizona State roster will have a much different look than in recent years. Between a talented returning core and a host of newcomers, the fate of ASU's 2026 season will hinge on some key Sun Devils. As we kick off our 16th season of the show, Brad Denny and Joe Healey count down their rankings of the 10 most important (non-quarterback) players for 2026.

In this episode, we begin our three-part Big 12 preview by taking a conference-wide look at the contenders, challengers and mystery teams shaping the 2026 season. Texas Tech enters as the defending champion and the clear center of attention, but does the conference’s best roster still have enough at quarterback and on defense to remain on top? We also examine why BYU feels like the safest alternative and whether Houston is ready to turn last year’s breakthrough into something even bigger. From there, we sort all 16 teams into tiers and work through a crowded middle class that may be deeper than either of us expected. How much should Utah’s infrastructure matter after major changes on the sideline and along both lines of scrimmage? Can Arizona, TCU or Kansas State stay in the championship race? Are we falling too hard for Oklahoma State’s potential, and how much faith should we place in Kenny Dillingham as Arizona State faces the conference’s most difficult schedule? We also identify the players we are most interested in watching, debate several new quarterback situations and make our early Big 12 Championship Game predictions. Plus, the Monster Energy sponsorship inspires a shady monetization strategy, Willie Fritz becomes the world’s most dependable roofing contractor, and one verbal stumble launches a questionable new Cincinnati business venture.

One sentence can change the way you carry loss—and for our guest Laura Bratton, that sentence was, “I want to give you permission to grieve.”In this deeply moving conversation, Laura—an author, speaker, and resilience coach—shares how she learned to move forward without denying the pain of what she had lost. After beginning to lose her sight at age nine and becoming completely blind by the end of high school, she faced depression, daily panic attacks, and the difficult work of rebuilding her identity and independence.Laura reveals why she initially rejected gratitude and how one simple daily practice eventually transformed her mindset: writing down three things she was grateful for. This wasn't about being thankful for the hardship. It was about recognizing the support, tools, relationships, and resources that helped her navigate it—including the guide dog that restored a powerful sense of freedom.We also explore mindfulness as a practical tool for interrupting anxiety, learning to recognize that thoughts are not always facts, and responding to fear with greater awareness. Laura offers a refreshing definition of grit—not as pushing through pain or “getting over it,” but as combining self-compassion with the courage to take the next step.If you are navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, disability, or an unexpected life transition, this episode offers an honest and hopeful approach to resilience. You'll discover how gratitude, mindfulness, and self-compassion can help you carry what happened without allowing it to define what happens next.Subscribe to the V.I.B.E. Living Podcast, share this episode with someone who needs encouragement, and leave a review telling us the insight you're choosing to carry forward.Bio At the age of nine, Laura was diagnosed with an eye disease and faced the difficult reality that she would become blind. Over the next ten years she experienced the traumatic transition of adjusting to life without sight.  Laura adjusted to her new normal and was able to move forward in life as she graduated from Arizona State University with a BA in psychology. She then was the first blind student to receive her Masters of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary.  She is the author of the book, Harnessing Courage. Laura founded Ubi Global, which is an organization that provides speaking and coaching to empower all people to overcome challenges and obstacles with grit and gratitude.Social Media LinkedInWebsite Please Patronize Our Sponsors  Healthy aging starts from the inside out.

Back in May, Brigham Young University published the results of a study about AI and religion. The study found that all major AI chatbots would not mention faith in responses to questions in which a well-rounded response probably ought to have included religious or spiritual ideas. Questioning AI about ethics, human suffering and morality will almost never result in a response that includes a religious perspective.In addition to a lack of religious references, the study also determined that the AI models had clear biases against certain religious groups.Among the tested models, the researchers found that Grok had the strongest biases, holding a more negative view of Jehovah's Witnesses, Baha'i, and Hindus. On the flip side, the researchers found that Meta and Anthropic had the least biased models.So what do we do with all of this? At the rate AI is developing, it's increasingly more difficult to see a world where it doesn't affect the way we think and talk with each other—actually, there's data to show that it already is affecting our language.And, though it is changing our speech, its foundation is still deeply human. AI models have actually built themselves on combing through our communication—our articles, our books, our encyclopedias and our social media comments. So, if AI has certain biases, is it merely reflecting the biases of the human species? Or are the developers to blame for influencing its opinions? Or, perhaps most eerily, has AI really come to certain conclusions on its own about how faith ought to operate in our societies?And, if we want to change the way AI speaks about religion, it immediately becomes difficult to conclude how we avoid giving preferential treatment to certain faiths over each other while still being intellectually honest about when certain religions may be more contextually significant to answering a question.To help wade through the messy waters of AI and religion, I spoke with Arizona State ethics professor Ben Hurlbut. Hurlbut specializes in the intersection of faith, technology and ethics and helped me better understand how we have grown to trust the internet and why bias in AI might not be as bad as it sounds.

Life can change in an instant. Just a week out from the 2024 season opener Arizona State offensive tackle Jalen Klemm suffered a stroke, immediately posing questions about his future.

Border Afterlives: Migrant Deaths, Forensic Investigations, and the Politics of Haunting (University of Arizona Press, 2026) begins with the undocumented individuals who die crossing the U.S.-Mexico border—deaths that are both preventable and politically produced. Moving between the practical and the philosophical, forensic anthropologist and author Gabriella Soto asks what it means to care for the dead and what society owes to those who die in its name. Through the lens of haunting, she explores how the dead continue to shape the living, not as objects of horror but as moral agents whose presence demands justice. Centered primarily in Arizona and South Texas, Border Afterlives offers a border-scale comparative account of forensic practices, critiques the limits of “best practices” in under-resourced systems, and calls for a re-imagining of forensic humanitarianism grounded in reciprocity and dignity, beyond human rights. This is a book that insists on remembering the dead. In this conversation, we discuss the difficult interplay between federal immigration policy and local practices of death care on the border, the implications of policies that cause increased death tolls, the politics of humanitarian immigration reform, and, finally, how allowing ourselves to be haunted by the slow mass casualties of the border can and should inspire us to act. Gabriella Soto is a contemporary archaeologist who examines the material world to understand pressing social issues. Integrating ethnographic methods, GIS technology, and archival research, she specializes in migration materialities, focusing on Latinx migration and security at the US-Mexico border. Her work analyzes the material footprints of transit, forensic death investigations, and security and humanitarian infrastructure. An ACLS fellow whose work has also been funded by the Wenner-Gren Foundation, Soto is a research affiliate at the Binational Migration Institute and holds faculty affiliations at Arizona State University's School of Transborder Studies, School of Interdisciplinary Forensics, and the Latinx Oral History Lab. Her research has appeared in American Anthropologist and Political Geography, and her article on migrant material culture won the American Anthropological Association's Gordon R. Willey Paper Prize.
