Two Kennesaw State students are using student media to change the way their peers view their campus during a new radio show called “Kampus Kulture.”
Every Tuesday and Thursday from 12-2 p.m., juniors Himie Freeman and Khadijah Cantrell immerse their audience in an honest conversation about the KSU community and the world as they see it.
The idea for “Kampus Kulture” was developed by Freeman last spring after realizing that there were no campus radio shows that followed the same dialogue style as other podcasts that his peers were listening to, such as “The Breakfast Club.”
With this revelation in mind, Freeman joined Cantrell to create a show that would provide a platform for current and future students to network and have their voices heard.
“Kampus Kulture” often attracts viewers through concert ticket giveaways and campus events while introducing its audience to various personalities and young creatives from the surrounding area. Whether it be a fraternity, a local musician or an all-girl dance group, featured guests are always exposed to a no-holds-barred conversation with the hosts.
Honesty is at the forefront of the docket as they cover potentially controversial topics such as sexual assault, consent and relationships. The hosts of the show create an open and comfortable environment for their guests and audience in order to start conversations about situations that affect students on campus and how people interact with the world around them.
“I hope to see the show grow and become a tool for students to become more involved,” Freeman said.
Exchanging banter through young adult lingo, Freeman and Cantrell make being involved with campus life seem “hip” and desirable. It is the show’s nature of inclusivity and dynamic approach to current events that makes Kampus Kulture a compliment to other campus shows.
“Kampus Kulture” is a unique listening experience that is designed to make the audience feel as if they are sitting in the Owl Radio station and participating in discourse with the show’s hosts and guests.
Students can listen to “Kampus Kulture” on the Owl Radio website at ksuradio.com/listen, on the RadioFX app and can find out more on the Owl Radio Facebook page.
Editor’s Note: Owl Radio is a branch of Kennesaw State Student Media which The Sentinel is also a part of.
