For this eleventh installment of “The Spotlight” we interviewed Oluwasegun Akiniyi, a bioengineering masters student at Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile Ife, Osun State, Nigeria. We talked about his education journey and current research endeavors using a robotic device to rehabilitate the hand of stroke patients. We discussed how his identity influences his research, and the intricacies of pursuing a research career in Nigeria. Additionally, we discussed his newfound love for traveling and gardening, and his future academic pursuits. This episode was written and produced by Stella Belonwu. Music from this episode was produced by Tictac9, Joe_anderson22, Josefpres, Uzerx, and Monkeyman535, and acquired from www.freesound.org.
Banner week in Beverly Hills this week as Brandon joins the track team, kicking Steve out of his spot in the relay AND stumbles upon a "program" that gives the track team the "competitive edge" - The writers also use the title 2x in this weeks episode - Brenda drives the mustang right into trouble with a shady lady who just wants to do jazzercise and fraud insurance companies.

We have a Brandon-centric episode this week which means it's a snooze fest...but we made it through The twins get some life lessons this week as Brandon takes an Olympic hopeful ice skater on one date, has to learn that commitment isn't about him and yells at his parents about why he isn't a hockey star. Brenda, still working that job she got for Christmas cash, learns that a commission sales job isn't always fair but Cindy comes in and saves the day in sunglasses & silk.

This week we follow Steve to New Mexico in search of his birth mother, Cindy is not in the holiday spirit due to a brown tree, no snow and why Brenda brought home a Santa Claus she met on the street. We also try to understand why the writers give Brenda a retail job that she is being trained on 2 days before Christmas (not to mention all the presents she is going to buy before she even has a paycheck...did we mention 2 days before Christmas.) Emily makes her final appearance for a few years, Dylan visits Jack in prison and Mel & Jackie break up & make up. It is a very busy Walsh Christmas (not on Hulu for those following along) Remember to rate, review and subscribe - 5 star reviews are awesome!!!

No...not that Chuckie! This week we are getting into the holiday season with a Winter Dance that is the beginning of David & Donna's romance. We also meet child star Chuckie Wilson, who is quite the pain in Steve's backside. However, he does get a new Corvette but decides that taking the bus is the best way to meet his birth mother as we remember that Steve is adopted (see Spring Dance, season 1) Also, listen to us wing it pretty good because sometimes Microsoft Word is not our friend...and when I say "we", I really mean K because she is definitely the brains of our operation.

This week (which I still envision this title as a Sweet Valley High book) Emily becomes a little bit stalkery when Brandon ends their relationship after last week's U4EA incident. There is A LOT of prank calling going on...Remember before caller ID? Also the gang signs on for a parade float for homecoming in December (Beverly Hills, am I right?) Brenda & Dylan decide to get a little culture in their lives because they can't go 5 minutes without making out. We fail to see why this is an issue. We also talk about wearing masks, falling down and arrest the cops that murdered Breonna Taylor Remember to rate, review and subscribe - 5 star reviews are awesome!!!

This week, we take a walk on the wild side as the gang gets in touch with their techno side and head to an underground club - There is an egg exchange, David gets drunk and Emily betrays Brandon when she drugs his drink. It's all very exciting...so exciting that Andrea is going to write about it in the Blaze. Plus, A has some wording issues & causes K to actually say WTF!!!

Another TRIGGER WARNING this week - this week deals with death by gun First off, Arrest the cops that murdered Breonna Taylor! Secondly, sorry for the sound quality last week and this week - the recording lap top apparently didn't know what to do after not being used for so long. It's been cleaned up and hopefully our next few episodes will be better! Okay, on to the episode This week is a non Hulu episode but thank goodness K has her trusty DVD's to get us through. The Google synopsis of this episode "The students at West Beverly High are forced to confront their own mortality when one of the group unexpectedly dies." I am pretty sure we cover why this isn't true in this episode - Brandon & Emily can't stop making out, Scott's Mom keeps stalking David at school and Donna is a great friend and she might be the protagonist of this whole show.

Brandon is handing out Cindy's raisins, Brenda is judgey and Emily Valentine trick or treats with some kids that she loses while out with Brandon.

In this episode, we’re getting into the weeds of cannabis research. Cannabis is the most widely used illegal drug in the world, but there is still so much we do not know about it.. To learn more, we spoke to two cannabis researchers: Dr. Steven Laviolette, a neurobiologist at The University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, and Dr. Salomeh Keyhani, a general internist and a health services researcher at UCSF’s Veteran Affairs Medical Center. From our conversation with Steven, we got insight into his lab’s findings on THC and CBD as they relate to a number of neuropsychiatric disorders, his approaches to use these cannabis constituents to combat these disorders, the funding landscape of cannabis research, the Canadian cannabis industry, and his thoughts on the future of cannabis research. In our interview with Salomeh, we learned about her motivation to study cannabis, as well as her approaches to understand things ranging from its public perception to cardiovascular health effects.

We are back...possibly. We recorded separately - hopefully it sounds ok!!! Hope everyone is staying safe & if you are an essential worker, we thank you for doing what you do!!! This week we find Brenda finally achieving her driver's license but never actually using it. Paraplegic cousin Bobby comes to visit & falls for Kelly but he seems to have the Walsh gene that he has to give everyone a hard time for being different than him (not to mention the hots for Brenda...yuck). Emily Valentine makes a brief appearance & David gets the courage to ask out Donna. Also, a wild Friday night with Charades...don't miss it.

Word to your Mother this week as Dylan's Mom, Iris, makes an appearance sending Dylan down a dark path of pool halls and relapses in his sobriety. Iris takes Cindy to a Mind Gym (aka A CULT...call your father) and where in the world is Emily Valentine??? Also, the gang berates Donna over and over about being smart about stocks but yet dumb in life. It's really terrible... Remember to rate, review and subscribe - 5 star reviews are awesome!!!

For those following along with Hulu & our podcast - this episode Hulu couldn't get the rights to either the music or they objected to the teacher/student relationship between Mr Suitor and Andrea, which is only one part of the drama this week.

Brandon has his own set of problems with the 65 mustang he finally could afford and of course "Father of the Year" Jim Walsh cannot wait to bust his chops about it.

This week's episode will have you looking for your fan as Dylan is injured in a surfing accident and can't wear a shirt. This is problematic for ol' Papa Walsh, as he continues to give us reasons to dislike him. Acting class also proves a challenge for Donna & David and Kelly has the hots for Kyle, who isn't sure about her. We go over the amount of newspaper that shows up in one scene and of course our banner recommends for the week. Remember to rate, review and subscribe - 5 star reviews are awesome!!!

Kelly is nominated for Spring Princess, asks Brandon to be her date ( a prequel to their relationship later) and she and Brenda end up in the same dress. Steve pouts, reveals he is adopted and never asks Donna to dance in her red no-no of a dress.
