When Richie approached me a few months ago to recreate one of those “What Are You Listening To?” videos, I knew I had stumbled across a genius. After weeks of me and Richie seeing each other and saying, “should we do it this week?” or “this week looks kinda busy for me, let’s hold off,” we finally got it done on Thursday, May 12. It was a glorious day, with the sun beating down, illuminating the AirPods in our peers’ ears, which our eyes were fixed on. I’ll admit, not everyone was listening to music so we had to ask for recent favorites, but we tried to collect as much live data from the field as possible. I had a wonderful time interrupting my peers’ days and disarming them with the not-too-invasive question of “what are you listening to?” - I felt not only connected to everyone on campus but also to humanity at large.
Below is a list of what we found in three different locations, Wilder Bowl (and around Wilder), Tappan Square, and the Conservatory (the lounge and Bibbins).
