Asking For A Friend: Recent Episodes
Genevieve Menyhart
A college radio show broadcasted Sundays 8-10 PM on Black Squirrel radio. Hosted by Augusta Battoclette and Genevieve Menyhart. Listen live on blacksquirrelradio.com or through the TuneIn app by searching Black Squirrel Radio!
On a new week of Asking For A Friend, we take a walk down memory lane and listen to all our favorite classics from our teen years. Including but not limited to some major throwbacks, a song we forgot was explicit and a few alternative hits that still sound just as good. Completed with commentary from yours truly, its a solid show with a great tracklist.
This week we talk all about movies! Specifically, movies with sequels or movies part of a series that include 3 or more. You know the ones like Shrek 2, Shrek the Third, Shrek Forever after.....we could go on. We rate the best of and the worst of movie sequels, because why ruin one movie with one more? In addition, we play great music! It's an episode you won't want to miss.
It's our Valentine's Day show! Except...not really...but we talk about couples...a lot...the whole time...in a super fun way!
This episode we dig deep into all things couple-related. But don't worry, not the cute and cuddly kind of stuff. Thanks to our listeners, we are stocked with responses in which we read live on air and discuss which celebrity couples are the best and worst, which ones we wish didn't break up, who would look good together, and even couples that pull it off on screen. We debate the worst couples: Kim and Kanye? Hailey and Justin?
If we don't get a lawsuit out of this episode, then what's the point?
Welcome back to a whole new season of Asking For A Friend! This week marks our new semester of college radio, and Genevieve's last.
This episode is truly all over the place, beginning with a winter break and new semester recap, followed by some mindless storytelling, then a brief review of some of the weirdest world records achieved in 2019. And for dessert, we dissect our selections for the winner of each category in the upcoming Oscars! (we were way off)
Complete with fun music, a small dancer, and potentially just (1) simple technical malfunction, this episode is about as AFAF as it gets!

Happy holidays! If you aren't ready yet, you're going to be ready after this show!
This week Asking For A Friend asks their audience all things Christmas related: from best to worst gifts given and received, holiday traditions and how the listeners are spending their breaks from school. Lots of sleeping, eating, and seeing friends!
In addition, Augusta and Genevieve offer some personal opinions on choice presents that they've received in the past, and discuss feedback from the listeners. Someone's mom cried after receiving the box set of The Office. Another listener received a flashlight...and wondered why.
Also, tune in to hear exclusively Christmas tunes and to feel the spirit of the holiday season!

In this episode, Augusta and Genevieve discuss all things related to this British boyband while referring to the responses submitted by the listeners! It starts with a casual, painless trip down memory lane: where were you when Zayn left the band?
Followed by discussions at length as to which members were the listener's favorites, acknowledging all the member's solo careers as well as albums, and even describing everyone's first concert outfits!
Stay tuned for a great story from Genevieve explaining her mom and a Harry Styles cardboard cutout...with the radio's most epic cough attack in between.

Our eighth ever episode of Season 3 of Asking For A Friend, a college radio show on Kent State University's Black Squirrel Radio Station!
Once again, Augusta and Genevieve take the mics on a fine Sunday evening, circa 8 o'clock.
This week, we take a walk down memory lane once more and relive all of our favorite gaming experiences growing up. The good, the bad and the ugly.
Starting from the top, the listeners let us know their favorite gaming devices growing up, from Gameboys, Xboxes, Kinects & more. A lengthy discussion follows to separate the distinctive qualities between a Nintendo DS, DS Lite, and DS XL. (dual screen, by the way) In addition, Augusta brings her very own DS to play during the show as we check in on her Nintendogs to make sure they're alive.
In addition to this, the dynamic duo also discuss alternate gaming options from Zoo Tycoon to Sims, Club Penguin to Webkinz and more. Truly something that only 90's kids would ever remember.
Listen for a great medley of background music featuring the likes of Nintendogs, Super Mario, Cooking Mama, the Mii channel and more!

Our seventh ever episode of Season 3 of Asking For A Friend, a college radio show on Kent State University's Black Squirrel Radio Station!
Ah yes, another fine week here at Asking For A Friend. This week, it's all about reality TV, baby!
Listen in as Genevieve and Augusta try to regain their sanity after gaining an extra hour of sleep. It's your typical Sunday night here at Black Squirrel Radio. Listeners submitting things, Genevieve and Augusta making no sense....
Anyways. With some help from the listeners, AFAF goes down memory lane through some of the best and worst musical acts from both American Idol and The X Factor through the years. Including but not limited to the pants on the ground audition, forgetting which hit song Leona Lewis coined, and keeping tabs on how many streams Cher Lloyd's new song has as of current.
In addition, August and Genevieve also discuss reality TV shows such as The Bachelor, Queer Eye, The Kardashians and more. Listen for some of the most epic reality TV show moments ranked according to the internet in which Paris Hilton finds out the true meaning of Walmart.
It's a wild episode from start to finish, with music from the likes of David Archuletta, Jordin Sparks, Little Mix and Emblem3!

Our sixth ever episode of Season 3 of Asking For A Friend, a college radio show on Kent State University's Black Squirrel Radio Station!
Welcome back....again.
This week, Augusta and Genevieve embrace the eerie holiday spirit by picking apart some notorious conspiracy theories submitted by the listeners! Such theories include but are not limited to: Area 51, the earth being flat, how all Pixar movies are connected seemingly in their own universe.
In addition, we also touch on some scary Mandela effect conspiracies... were you fully aware that curious George does not, in fact, have a tail? That it's actually Sex IN The City? And on top of that, we debate on whether or not the government is purposely withholding from us the cure to the common cold.
It's a mind blowing episode that you absolutely will not want to miss. (You may need an Aspirin for your head after)

Our fifth ever episode of Season 3 of Asking For A Friend, a college radio show on Kent State University's Black Squirrel Radio Station!
You just couldn't get enough, could you?
This week, Augusta and Genevieve discuss all things memes. They're everywhere you look, so why not acknowledge how truly funny they are? Starting from the very beginning of internet trolling, dating back to the Rickroll, memes have evolved from the "me gusta" meme and the "Y U NO" man to simply a video of Kylie Jenner waking up her daughter.
Naturally, other important things are covered, such as our listener's favorite and least favorite memes of all time as well as some of the best over the years according to the internet. Augusta is tested as to which year some of the best memes originated from, including but not limited to Arthur's fist and the white man blinking.
Listen for Harry Styles' new song, LOTS of technical difficulties, and a guest appearance by the Grim Reaper!

Our fourth ever episode of Season 3 of Asking For A Friend, a college radio show on Kent State University's Black Squirrel Radio Station!
Welcome back to another week of Asking For A Friend! This week, Augusta and Genevieve take a little trip down memory lane through the world of technology.
You know, back in those simpler times when people used AIM and email to communicate after school? When you used to send on average ten text messages a day with your Motorola Razr cellphone in the fifth grade? Yeah, those simple times.
In this show, we hear from you, the listeners, all about your experiences growing up in a time where technology was not as advanced. Back when you had to dial up the internet on your flip phone to check an email or two and get billed $100 a minute. When your first email address was soccermunchie98 or 2cheerfulboo. Yes, those were actual answers we received.
In addition we talk about some true and false social media statistics about how long we use Youtube daily, how many ten year olds crack the Facebook loophole and how many social media accounts we average per person, which requires Genevieve to use basic math skills that she can't comprehend.
It's a show you won't want to miss!

Our third ever episode of Season 3 of Asking For A Friend, a college radio show on Kent State University's Black Squirrel Radio Station!
Welcome back to another week of Asking For A Friend! This week we take our radio show across the pond and come to you live from London, England!
Just kidding, we wish though. But if the thought of a little British essence got you excited, then this episode is the episode for you! Or at least the first hour for that matter.
This week we talk all about crazy laws throughout the US. Is it illegal if a pickle doesn't bounce? You can't legally share your Netflix password? We talk all about the bizarre things the general public can and cannot do, of course with the help of your feedback.
In addition, we cover the essentials of the upcoming fall season and Augusta quizzes Genevieve on Instagram captions she used on her own posts from 6 years back. It's a true blast from the past that you won't want to miss!

During a quick phone-in interview with Genevieve for the first time ever on air, she reveals her top Friends characters from best to worst. Ross comes in second, do you agree? Genevieve and Bridget also defend their dying love for Nickelodeon while never letting Augusta forget that she hasn't watched Spongebob.

Alas, the day we have all been dreading: the final show of the season. This 2 hour episode takes you through a walk down memory lane as we reminisce on all our wild rides on air throughout the school year. Can you believe it's been two whole semesters? 20 shows. 40 hours on air. All Asking For A Friend.
We look back on all the live reads, all the technical difficulties, all the Tiny Dancers and review the shows from our past: Conspiracy Show? Radio jingle show? Travel show? Christmas show?
All jokes aside, the show had a great run this semester as we celebrate Alicia's last show as a Kent State Student. But don't forget about us, Genevieve still has one more year and will be keeping the legacy alive.

Our twelfth ever episode of Season 2 of Asking For A Friend, a college radio show on Kent State University's Black Squirrel Radio Station!
Welcome to our most jam-packed episode of all time. This week the show is run by our listeners and their personal tastes, and we're diving in to all things music -- including but not limited to:
-favorite artists of all time
-least favorite types of music
-concert war stories
...and much, much more! We actually received so much feedback from the listeners that we didn't get a chance to cover it all. Alicia and I also throw in some of our favorite hits and review some of the best concerts we've been to, and how long we've been willing to wait in line.
Listen for a good rickroll in more ways than one.

Our fifth ever episode of Season 2 of Asking For A Friend, a college radio show on Kent State University's Black Squirrel Radio Station! Meet your hosts Alicia Falorio and Genevieve Menyhart as we dive in head-first into the world of the radio. Did we know what we were doing this day? Hell no.
Join us for this week's very laid back episode in which Genevieve and Alicia recap their lives lately. Alicia explains her experience after trying Bibibop and the "outer body" experience she had shortly after. After admitting she finally saw Bohemian Rhapsody over the weekend, Genevieve is sent into a frenzy obsessing over the actor who plays Roger Taylor, Ben Hardy.
In addition, we go over life in general. After begging the listeners to edit Alicia's paper, we turn to the listener responses from our Instagram polls, as per usual. We go over all sorts of things regarding relationships, college life and balancing school. Towards the end we digress the preceding night's Oscars Award Ceremony and highlight the essentials including Olivia Colman's acceptance speech where she name drops Lady Gaga and Rami Malek falling off the side of the stage post-ceremony.
It's an episode you won't want to miss!

Our eleventh ever episode of Season 2 of Asking For A Friend, a college radio show on Kent State University's Black Squirrel Radio Station! On this week's episode, Alicia is out of studio slaving away on her up and coming gallery show this weekend. In her place is Genevieve's roommate, Alex, who stops by the studio to chat about all things roommate related. Unfortunately, due to a power outage last night this episode doesn’t get archived until 42 minutes in, leaving an hour and 18 minutes only saved. In this week's episode we read out all the stories we received from listeners about their college living situations---from a roommate who took a shot before her 7 AM class every single morning to another roommate who had shower sex and flooded the bathroom, resulting in the bathroom below them's ceiling to cave in onto a boy taking a shower who was already on crutches. These are just a few of the short stories we received from our loyal listeners, with several others to tell as well as our own personal experiences in the dorm life. There's a reason 81% of people said nay and 19% said yay to the dorm life, according to our Instagram polls. At the end of the show Alicia makes a special guest appearance via a phone call on the aux cord, where a friend nearby swears on the broadcast. But if you listen closely, you'll notice that's not the first time someone swore on air today. Listen if you'd like a laugh, or some secondhand embarrassment.

Our tenth ever episode of Season 2 of Asking For A Friend, a college radio show on Kent State University's Black Squirrel Radio Station!
This episode is pretty mellow if we do say so ourselves. Join in as Genevieve and Alicia dive into all sorts of factual information from true and false questions to myths that we have to debate. Does chewing gum really take 7 years to digest? Did Mark Twain actually patent the bra strap clasp? Does McDonald's only serve the McLobster in Cape Cod? And if so, what the hell is a McLobster?
Alicia takes one for the team and decides to guess the answers game-show style, playing the role of a viewer for everyone's convenience. This leads to several challenging situations that eventually evolve into Genevieve and Alicia having a heated debate about the memory span of a goldfish.
In addition to all that we contemplate life, our weekends and the semester wrapping up. It's a fun episode to follow along, so put in your headphones and turn it up!

Our ninth ever episode of Season 2 of Asking For A Friend, a college radio show on Kent State University's Black Squirrel Radio Station!
Not to be biased, but this is definitely one of our top 5 episodes. No big deal.
In this episode, we investigate notorious murder mysteries from around the world. We also talk about already solved cases, missing person situations and debate on whether or not certain convictions are justifiable. We take answers from our listeners as well as discuss the feedback we received for each case including alternate theories, other possible suspects and whether or not people agreed or disagreed with the outcome.
Some of the cases that we touch on:
-The Steven Avery Case (from Making a Murderer on Netflix)
-What happened to Jonbenet Ramsay
-Where the hell is Madeline McCan and what happened to her?
-The Michael Peterson case (from The Staircase on Netflix)
...and we even take turns roasting Ted Bundy for a little while! It's a jam packed episode that you won't want to miss.

Our seventh ever episode of Season 2 of Asking For A Friend, a college radio show on Kent State University's Black Squirrel Radio Station!
Welcome back to our seventh episode of the show! In this episode, Genevieve and Alicia battle it out over 'this and that's that we come up with! After posting several polls on our Instagram story, we review the feedback we received about the superior of the two options. We cover the standards: Pepsi or Coke? Netflix or Hulu? Gena or Alicia? Heath Ledger or Jake Gyllenhaal?
Then, we ask the harder-hitting questions, from which camera brand is better to which flavor of Dorito. Is LeBron better in The Land, or in LA? We settle several ties and go off on separate tangents about stories that have little to no relevance, but what else is new?
Sit back, relax and press play. You won't regret it!

Our sixth ever episode of Season 2 of Asking For A Friend, a college radio show on Kent State University's Black Squirrel Radio Station!
While every other college is on Spring Break, Genevieve and Alicia sit sadly in the BSR station at Kent State University. In attempts to lift our spirits, we go over all sorts of vacation related topics and guess the top ten most popular Spring Break spots! In addition we disclose our break secrets, vacation memories and discuss our future plans for our Spring Break!
And of course, we review the feedback from our listeners and share some of their trials and tribulations on air. In addition, we discover on air a rather disturbing drawing left hanging in the studio which renders us speechless.

Our fourth ever episode of Season 2 of Asking For A Friend, a college radio show on Kent State University's Black Squirrel Radio Station! Meet your hosts Alicia Falorio and Genevieve Menyhart as we dive in head-first into the world of the radio. Did we know what we were doing this day? Hell yeah.
In this week's episode, Alicia turns 22 years old. While this is already significant, it gives us the opportunity to make several birthday puns and creates the opportunity for 22 by Taylor Swift to get dropped randomly.
This week Alicia's long time friend and roommate Kate steps into the station with us. Kate, a nursing major, answers medically related questions from our listeners, and offers her professional diagnosis. Hear why she believes we don't get goosebumps on our face. We also ask for your weirdest injury stories, and some did not disappoint:
-"Broke my toe by tripping over an empty laundry basket"
-"I scraped my entire knee off because a wasp flew in my mouth when I was riding my bike"
-"Broke my ankle practicing my Irish step dancing for fake Patty's Day"
Hear how Genevieve broke her butt, as well as how she's ended up in the ER in London on two separate trips.

In case you didn't know, this show was broadcast on the 11th of February which means 3 days later...makes it Valentine's Day! Welcome to our anti-Valentine's show in which we discuss all the holiday essentials. After some feedback from our listeners, we play several requested love songs, rate the best rom coms and share some Valentine's day successes and most importantly the fails. Have you ever gone on a date with a girl to the movies where she sees her guy friend and invites him to tag along? Have you ever just been straight up blown off on Valentine's day? If so, this is the episode for you.
We get a little too real about iPhone photography as photo majors and the stigma that makes other people think we're experts at it. Come on guys, its a phone.

Meet your hosts Alicia Falorio and Genevieve Menyhart as we dive in head-first into the world of the radio. Did we know what we were doing this day? Hell yeah. Making another bold claim that aside from our Travel Show and show with Genevieve's Mom, this episode is definitely one of the top ones.
Welcome back for another week of this godforsaken show. If you've ever wanted to hear someone bitch for 2 hours straight, then this episode is for you! (In the best way). In this week's episode, Genevieve and Alicia touch on a variety of subjects such as commonly misheard lyrics and catchy commercial jingles including but not limited to the Education Connection song and the beloved Filet-O-Fish commercial.
There is also a segment in which Genevieve flames Liberty Ford for a bit too long over their change of lyric in their iconic commercials. It has to start with Solon, then Maple Heights, then Parma Heights...and so on. We also dissect some other commercials such as:
-O'Reilly auto parts
-1-800-CASH NOW
-the IX indoor amusement park
-the Pillow Pet jingle
- many, many more. In a conflict of poor scheduling, Genevieve leaves 20 minutes early to go take a test, leaving Alicia alone at the mic where she reads out horoscopes and makes some astrological predictions for our listeners on live.
We also introduce our show via our new Instagram account, and announce that we happily were awarded show of the week!

Join the two of us as we bring back the legendary college radio show that is AFAF. We give you guys all the juicy details about our winter breaks--in which Genevieve goes abroad and Alicia is bedridden with mono. Together, we look back on 2018 and digress the New Year and ask our listeners, was 2019 off to a good or bad start?
After several aggressive shoutouts to friends, Genevieve talks about her weekend encounters at the Today's Bride bridal show the previous weekend. Alicia is left alone at the mic for the last 20 minutes as Genevieve leaves to go to class after some poor scheduling.

Our seventh ever episode of Asking For A Friend, a college radio show on Kent State University's Black Squirrel Radio Station! Welcome back to the seventh week of us on air! In any case, we believe it's pretty safe to declare this the most epic episode of the show. Genevieve and Alicia sit down with a third party. Who is this third party you ask? Genevieve's own mother.
Listen as we welcome Karen Menyhart to the BSR radio station. For 2 hours straight, Genevieve is roasted by her own mother on air. In addition there are several war stories told, a reflection upon some of the finest Menyhart Christmas photos with Santa, and several accidental sexual innuendos. After giving several shoutouts to friends that she "practiced on the way to the show," Karen touches on every base on air.
Meanwhile, the Asking For A Friend trio accept the Instagram challenge from their listeners to subtly drop words submitted by our followers into casual conversation. There were many successes and many fails.
Completed with an earth-shattering rendition of Tiny Dancer and a small karaoke of Bohemian Rhapsody, this is an episode you absolutely would not want to miss.

Our sixth ever episode of Asking For A Friend, a college radio show on Kent State University's Black Squirrel Radio Station! Welcome back to the sixth week of us on air! On this fine Monday, Genevieve and Alicia reflect on the gift of fatigue and how they think it will overcome them. Upon stumbling into the radio station, they discover a brand new flat screen TV playing an episode of "Pickler and Ben" and give their honest reviews on the spot.
Did we mention we hated Mondays? Why did we pick this day? Listen to find out. This episode touches on all the important things, you know like the third Property Brother and dwelling on the Kardashians for a little too long. Aside from all the basics, we spend this episode Googling ourselves and giving our honest reactions to the content we find. What's on the web about you? Your middle name? Your grand-grandfather's old home address overseas? Your blood type? You won't want to miss out on these findings.
"Listen, I have about negative brain cells right now, and I need them to last me the whole week," Alicia says in all honesty. Her aunt Jan then walks past the station, prompting Alicia to run after her and leaving Genevieve at the mic.
Listen at your own discretion. And hey, the music is pretty damn good.

Our fourth ever episode of Asking For A Friend, a college radio show on Kent State University's Black Squirrel Radio Station! Meet your hosts Alicia Falorio and Genevieve Menyhart as we dive in head-first into the world of the radio. Did we know what we were doing this day? Not at all. Did we bounce back anyways and pull everything together? Hell yeah. Listen as we take you through 20 minutes of pure BS until the power outage knocks us off air! Listen for the usual microphone startup issues in which Genevieve can't hear herself, to which her mom texts her "I hear you, shut up."
-This episode had the original intent of covering some would you rather scenarios between the two of us, as well as some laid back chat about college life and the world in general.
-Just as the show started to take off, the room goes dark. What happens you might ask? The great Black Squirrel Radio power outage of 2018. Due to this, all systems in the station were down for 45 minutes while the power was restored. After the help of a custodian, technician and a passerby in Franklin Hall, Asking For A Friend was able to get back on air with only working microphones and an aux cord hooked up to Spotify.
-Unfortunately for you guys, the remaining hour of the show was not recorded as well as the entire week following as the radio system got fixed. This also means that episode 5 is lost on the interweb forever.
Listen as we discover the day-old engagement of Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson and hear our immediate thoughts. Not saying we called it, but we just might have. Genevieve also discovers a special effects button, so have fun with that.

Our second ever episode of Asking For A Friend, a college radio show on Kent State University's Black Squirrel Radio Station! Welcome back to the second week of us on air! In this episode we explore several different conspiracy theories submitted by listeners via Instagram. In addition, we explore several Mandela Effect theories in which we try to comprehend the complexity of the universe in a small radio station. What are some of the conspiracies, you ask?
- Did Avril Lavigne die and get replaced by a lookalike twin?
- The moon landing: is it fake?
- Is the earth...flat?
- The death of Princess Diana
And some Mandela effect questions:
- Does the Monopoly man actually wear a monocle?
- Is it the Berenstain Bears or the Berenstein bears?
We also pretend that we're able to take callers but don't be fooled, we have no idea how to work the phone. If I do say so myself, we definitely stepped up our audio tech game. Truth be told, we were wearing fake adhesive mustaches to really bring out our inner detective, and we got several stares from the people of Kent State who walked past us. You'll hear it, don't worry. You won't want to miss this episode, and that's an AFAF guarantee.

Our first ever episode of Asking For A Friend, a college radio show on Kent State University's Black Squirrel Radio Station! Meet your hosts Alicia Falorio and Genevieve Menyhart as we dive in head-first into the world of the radio. Did we know what we were doing this day? No. Did we bounce back anyways and pull everything together? Hell yeah. Listen as we take you through 2 hours of some fun introductions, stories, and lots of technical difficulties. Completed with shout-outs to our families, several microphone problems, threatens of ASMR and a glimpse into the insanity of our everyday lives, this show's sure to be interesting. Tune in if you dare.
