Members of the Black Student Union at BYU are going viral as The Black Menaces. #Voices Amplified spoke with members Kylee Shepherd, Nathanael Byrd and Rachel Weaver, who are broadening the debate about race, gender, and other issues through viral videos on TikTok and Instagram. 

Pow wow season is back in Utah after a two-year pandemic pause. Rocklyn Merrick, SLCC Powwow coordinator, joined the program to share about the up-and-coming SLCC Spring Social Powwow. Diné (Navajo), Oglala Lakota and Omaha, Merrick shared the significance of Powwow gatherings. She wanted Natives and non-Natives to know that ALL people are welcomed at this gathering. 

  • April 16: SLCC Spring Social Powwow, 12:00-10L00 p.m. at Bruin Arena on the SLCC Redwood Campus, 4700 S. Redwood Rd., SLC.   

#PopCultureNuggets, a segment where the show’s team talks about what they’re watching, listening to, or activities coming up that they’re excited about. 

  • Celebrity comeback: Against the backdrop of the Oscar slap, Lead Producer Jonny Tollestrup shared his thoughts about the recent Grammy win for the stand-up comic Louis C.K. This achievement comes after being ousted from entertainment after he admitted to sexual misconduct with multiple female comics. He was on top of the stand-up industry before being ousted in late 2017. Tollestrup wondered whether Louis can and should reach those same heights again.

  • Binge worthy: Host Ariel Widerberg shared the new TV series she’s looking forward to checking out: Under the Banner of Heaven. Based on the book, Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer, the F/X series will stream exclusively on Hulu, starting April 28. It chronicles the true-crime events within the FLDS sect in Utah, which led to a double-murder in 1984.
