Sinuous, TikTok, and Moment of Silence (Season 2, Episode 3)

TV West Saves the World

The third installment in the StW saga's second year includes a myriad of great content, including our new WotW (Word of the Week), "sinuous". Don't look it up yet unless you like spoilers! We delve into more controversial topics in this episode, providing commentary on the recent events surrounding popular social media platform TikTok and its relationship with the US government and its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. In addition to the ban discussion, we rip open the September 29th presidential debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden in Cleveland, Ohio; we attempt to answer some questions people may have and analyze what effects the debate may have made on the American public on the whole. Fourth, we discuss the hyper-local effects of COVID-19 on the Salt Lake Valley and hold a 30-second moment of silence for all those affected by the pandemic directly. Fifth (but not last), we check up on our West High Football team and remark on their outstanding record this year. To round out the show, we check the West High website for school news (west.slcschools.org), read the latest Sept. 28 newsletter from SLCSD Interim Superintendent Larry Madden, and attempt to make a better outro. We hope you enjoy it.

This episode features Ben Bolton, Isaac Youngberg, and Brogan Nilsson, but no Moses Baca this time (sadly).
