In the fall of 2020, The Medium aired season 1, episode 1 of The Medium/The Message. It was a conversation between Liz and friends about all things related to student life. Since then, The Medium/The Message developed into poignant reflections that attempt to understand society & student life through stories.
New episodes are released biweekly from September to April. Season 2 features interviews with professors and experts on topics such as privilege, social media, finance, relationships, and more.

Season 2
Sometimes we need advice, other times we just need someone to relate to. Join us for a conversation with The Medium’s Features Editor Ricardo Jaroslav Valdes and guest speaker Professor Jennifer Stellar.
Join us for a conversation with Aroni Sarkar, The Medium’s Opinion Editor, Aya Yafaoui, the Ear to the Ground Columnist, and George Wootten, political science professor at UTM, about what makes something newsworthy.
In this episode, The Medium’s editorial team discusses their contribution in the ‘Moving Still’ Magazine—a collection of creative non-fiction, essays, research, poetry, and photos. Topics discussed include social media, grief, mental health, health care, childhood memories, businesses, and change. The Magazine can be found across stands on campus, or online at https://themedium.ca/moving-still/. “We hope this magazine will inspire you to see isolation as it is: not necessarily good, not necessarily bad, but simply a state we all experience in life.”
