The Five After School: Recent Episodes
Allen Zhu, Brian Mowry
The Five After School is a podcast that spins off originally from "The Five...", a podcast in which one of the hosts is my former high school teacher. In this podcast, we react to episodes of The Five or discuss things we are curious about, just as we often did after school.
Make sure you listen to the episodes of The Five before listening to our reactions of them. You can find The Five... at one of the links below: https://open.spotify.com/show/54AiGloYwAILWII8WLHHh8?si=PwwXoZ0oTVSwrjyU63ObmQ&dl_branch=1 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-five/id1480182244
We react to Episode 98 of The Five: Five Things That Make Us Nostalgic. We discuss the difference between nostalgia and intimacy, how we can look at painful experiences with nostalgia or fondness, and how what makes nostalgia what it is.
Brian and Allen react to The Five's 99th episode: "The Five Ruminations on COVID-19." We discuss further thoughts on vaccines, masks, Trump, and moral/ethical quandaries. Hear the original episode in the link below:

The Five After School is a spin-off podcast from "The Five…”. One of the co-hosts of The Five, Mr. Mowry, is the co-host of The Five After School and also the former high school teacher of the other co-host Allen. We react to episodes of The Five, but, given the timing of this inaugural episode, we decided to discuss the recent events of Afghanistan, in which the Taliban seized power after the US withdrew. Mr. Mowry himself has a masters in Middle Eastern Studies, so I wanted to pick his brain.
