The student body was able to sneak out early for Thanksgiving Break this year, but before that the guys at Falcon Talk were able to drop their latest podcast, the 5^th episode of Season Three. Hosted by Bryan Hultgren, this week’s episode featured base drops by such figures as Coach Marinan, Ethan Pitney, and The Kestrel’s own Lucas Voghell. Xavier’s win over Fairfield Prep 35-28 was all the talk this week on the Sport’s Report, with a complete game analysis courtesy of Bryan and a featured interview with Coach Marinan. Community news was also mentioned, with the ongoing animal drive with Boy Scout Troop 16 and the recent Xavier/Mercy Musical discussed in detail. Wrapping up the end of this week’s podcast and coming right on the heel’s of Kestrel’s own Feature Piece on the Ryken Service Society was a one-on-one interview with Ethan Pitney, Vice President of Ryken, who provided some insight into Ryken’s ongoing activities and future plans. But perhaps the biggest piece of news (at least for us at the Kestrel) was the announcement of a renewed commitment to cooperation between all three of Xavier’s news orientated clubs involving a bi-monthly feature of Kestrel articles on The Falcon Talk and a professional summary of every podcast episode by a reporter at the Kestrel. A welcome conclusion to the first trimester of the school year, this week’s episode of Falcon Talk is, as always, a premier source for all current things concerning news and sports at Xavier High School.
