It's Monday, May 1st, 2023 and welcome to the May edition of Hills Review -- the High School East Student Podcast. There is debate about whether listening to audiobooks is as good as reading a book. This Tuesday, Arnav Singh looks at the advantage that audiobooks have over their paper cousins. This Wednesday, join Rudy Von Bartesch and Jack Grauer as they discuss S.E. Hinton's classic: The Outsiders. This book talk provides an in-depth look at the world of the struggling greasers and their wealthy enemies – the socs. The conversation also examines what it is that gives this book its timeless appeal. Does high school prepare you to learn and navigate the real world after graduation? This Thursday, Asiya Hasanoff and Gabrielle Everette ask Hills East students what classes they think should be added to make learning more practical. People around the world are getting excited for this weekend's Kentucky Derby. On Friday, Jessica Lowey talks with Todd Pletcher, an American thoroughbred horse trainer who has had two horses win the Derby – and whose horse Forte is this year's odds on favorite. Mr Pletcher will discuss his methods and the emotions that he feels before, during and after the big race. There are a few additional announcements this month. Students are invited to submit films to the 2023 High School East Student Film Festival. Submissions are due no later than May 11th – see Mr. Beatty for details. For those interested in attending the festival, it will be held on Thursday, May 25th at 2:15 in the Lecture Hall. Tickets are available from Film and Podcasting Club members – and at the door. Hills Review is proud to announce that Tyler Wenczl was honored in the Suffolk County Community College high school media competition. There were two categories for audio production: best news podcast and best PSA – and Tyler won BOTH! Keep listening to hear the story entitled: Time Between Classes, followed by the PSA for Students Against Destructive Decisions. Congratulations Tyler on your award winning podcasts!
