What is The Chimes Weekly?
Bite-sized podcast episodes with your top news stories from The Chimes, Los Angeles County, the nation and the world, with an interview with a Chimes writer to close out your week.
By Biola University students, for Biola University students. Previously known as Chimes Rundown and KBR Daily News Updates by KBR The Torch.
Hope Li: From The Torch Podcasting Network, this is
All: The Chimes Weekly.
Hope Li: I’m Hope, reporting from Biola University. It’s Friday, May 2.
Ethan Arredondo: Yeah, I think that's where, you know, David got to prepare the way for Solomon to actually build the temple. And it's really exciting to kind of live that out in our modern day context.
Hope: Three of Biola’s student media groups, The Chimes News, The Point magazine and The Torch Podcasting Network will be merging as one single student media body called The Chimes Media Group. We’ll hear more from the three student leaders of those groups, and the future leader of the group but before that, let’s take a look at this week’s headlines. For this episode, you’ll hear each headline read by the staff member who wrote it.
Izah DeFigh: The yearbook is officially out! Yes, Biola has a yearbook and they are free to students. You may or may not have noticed the bright green books around campus. Volume 91 of the Biolan hopes to encourage Biolans to notice and celebrate the variety of perspectives offered by the individuals that make up this university. Make sure to pick up your copy before the semester ends at various locations, including the lower SUB outside the SMU office, Heritage Cafe, or the library.
Hope: Live from Lot F was a hit on Monday night. Comedy sketches ranged from wondering what happens to the 0.1% of germs that survive hand sanitizer, and a Soviet Spice Girls rendition of “If you wanna be my comrade.” The event was sponsored by OCE, SGA, CMA and Tru Bowl, which provided free acai bowl samples for students to enjoy during the two-hour show. According to showrunner Elijah Van Gasbeek, the sketch comedy club initially formed to write sketches and make comedy fun for everybody.
Elijah Van Gaasbeek: Honestly we were thinking, Studio C is like this Mormon sketch comedy group, and there really isn’t like a Christian one. So we thought it was like a great opportunity to be able to start doing great sketch comedy that’s, like, pretty clean, still Christian.
Hope: Putting the whole production together takes weekly writers room meetings and table reads, then rehearsals near the end of the semester. With that said, if you’re interested in auditioning for next semester’s production, or you’d like to join the Soviet Spice Girls or Magic Michael, here’s what Live from Lot F producer Bella Greer had to say:
Bella Greer: Magic Michael is currently looking for work, so if you have a magic show you want, he would love to come because he’s been getting pretty good at the scarf.
Jason Lee: Biola’s Vocal Jazz Ensemble presented their annual Spring Concert on April 29. The ensemble, directed by Dr. Shawna Stewart, performed 11 songs. Three of the songs were arrangements by graduating seniors, who also had individual solo performances. These included “Raindrops on Roses” by Cassie Alura, “Them There Eyes” by Mary Beth Millar and “Misty” by Ava Freeman. The night was filled with all sorts of moods, ranging from mellow, romantic tunes to high-paced, whimsical pieces. This event was the last performance of the Conservatory of Music’s 2024 to 2025 season, so you can look out for more performances next semester.
Reagan Glidewell: Senior STEM major Kierstin Haven won the Office of Innovation’s Startup Competition on April 25 with her business idea called Mediscan. Havens took home $10,000 as well as an additional $5,000 for being a STEM major to launch her business idea. Remembrance, a documentary company, created by Josh Yoder and Andreas Johnson won second place with a prize of $6,000, and a college campus app Eventure by Joseph Hartono, Amadeo Margo, and Emma Lee took the third place prize of $4,000.
Biola’s Track & Field teams took on Conference last weekend with some Pac-West victories. Lynette Ruiz and Melt von Molendorff secured PacWest titles in the 10k with Aislin Taylor finishing second. Bethany Mapes captured the victory in the women’s 5000 by little over a second, and Jack Ferrence won the decathlon with a personal best of 6076 points.
Reagan: Biola women’s golf was crowned PacWest championships for the third time in four years while sophomore Karis Haltom earned top honors as the PacWest Individual Champion. The Eagles will head to the NCAA Division II Regionals in Amarillo, Texas.
Thomas Rahkola: This week, Harvard University released a self-conducted report detailing the extent of anti-semetic and anti-muslim sentiments on their campus. The report underscored the challenges Harvard and other universities face in maintaining freedom of expression on their campus, especially after tensions rose in response to October 7th and the war in Gaza. The release of this report comes at a time when Harvard has clashed with the current administration over federal interference in university policies.
Izah DeFigh: A massive blackout took out the power across Spain and Portugal this week. The outage occurred on Monday beginning in the early afternoon until power was restored the following day. Tens of millions of homes, businesses, hospitals and other essential infrastructure were disrupted by the outage, leaving authorities to figure out what caused the worst ever power outage in Europe and how to prevent it from happening again.
Izah: May Day protests against the Trump administration have expanded outside the U.S. and around the globe. On Thursday, demonstrations took place across Europe in countries like Germany, Spain, France, Switzerland and also across Asia in Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia and Turkey. Each country has cited different reasons for protesting, but the common thread lies in the demand for protection for laborers and local industry, all in response to increased tariffs and policy changes in global trade with the U.S.
Hope Li: Next up is my conversation with Patricia Yang, editor-in-chief of The Chimes, Ethan Arredondo, editor-in-chief of The Point magazine, and Thomas Rahkola, current producer of this podcast and future editor-in-chief of the new Chimes Media Group. The four of us visited the studio to talk about the past year of planning for the merge, and what we hope it will look like.
Hope Li: I'm Hope, executive producer of The Torch Podcast Network. And here with me is Ethan Arredondo.
Ethan Arredondo: Sup.
Hope Li: And Patricia Yang,
Patricia Yang: Hello, hello.
Hope Li: And
Thomas Rahkola: Thomas Rahkola from The Torch.
Hope Li: Yeah. Could you guys explain your roles, how you are connected to the torch or to The Chimes or to the point, and then we'll talk about what in the world we are all doing here.
Ethan Arredondo: I'm Ethan Arredondo. I'm a junior design major here at Biola, and I'm currently the editor in chief at The Point magazine.
Hope Li: Nice.
Patricia Yang: And I'm Patricia Young. I'm a senior English major, and I'm the editor in chief for The Chimes.
Thomas Rahkola: Yeah, and I'm Thomas Rahkola, and I'm currently working as a producer for the Torch Radio Podcast Network.
Hope Li: Cool, cool. We're all here today to talk about this new thing that Patricia Ethan and I have been cooking up for the past year called The Chimes Media Group, which you may have heard of earlier in this podcast, or from little snippets and mentions and whispers of things earlier this year, but we just wanted to formally introduce it and kind of explain the thought process of why we're doing this thing And what it will do to student media groups on the back side and front side to the rest of the student body. So let's talk a little bit about what these media publications do currently, like what in the world is The Chimes, for example, Patricia. If you could tell us a little bit about you guys' mission, a little bit of what you did differently this year compared to previous years?
Patricia Yang: Yeah, sure. So The Chimes is Biola's weekly daily newspaper. Source. We have our website and Instagram, and we publish there basically every day, getting news out to you all, lovely people. And in the past, we didn't have our Instagram. Actually, that's a new thing that we started just this past fall, expanding on that, getting started on also short video content in for our news. So, yeah.
Hope Li: Cool, cool. Ethan. What's the point?
Ethan Arredondo: Yeah, yeah, the point magazine is Biola's biannual student run print magazine. We publish once a semester, and, yeah, we just do long form investigative feature storytelling, and we win awards sometimes.
Hope Li: That's right, with great, great design content as well.
Patricia Yang: Amazing design content.
Hope Li: Yeah.
Ethan Arredondo: Thank you.
Hope Li: And The Torch is, well, it used to be a radio station, way back when you could plug in from your dorms, and it was playing in the caf music 24/7 DJ shows, super cool. But now, and starting kind of this year, it's more podcast network. We're a place for any students to pitch their shows, learn how to podcast, learn how to write scripts and edit and host and all the things. And one of our most popular podcasts, might I say, is called The Chimes Weekly, which was actually the first step in experimenting with this whole merger thing to see how we can share resources and spread the news to people on campus.
All right, let's talk about the merger. Can anyone explain what exactly is the merger? What is the CMG, what is The Chimes Media Group?
Ethan Arredondo: Yeah, so all of the student media groups on campus are coming together to form the all new Chimes Media Group. And when I say all, I mean primarily Torch, Point and Chimes. So this is not including Eagle Vision or Biolan as far as I'm aware, although we are kind of defining some ways to collaborate with them more closely, but these three primary independent student groups have just with the changes coming to the university in recent years, found that it could be beneficial to everyone to create this new media group, financially, operationally, just kind of in every way, to create something that's more cohesive and a little larger in scale, and just pooling all of our resources together.
Hope Li: Yeah, yeah. And that would mean like we're sharing riders to work on different projects, seeing where we can overlap and help help each other out, like, if we need social media content made for the torch, hopefully we could ship that off to someone who works for The Chimes, but, you know, works for The Chimes Media Group, which kind of makes a little more streamlined for us.
Ethan Arredondo: Yeah.
Patricia Yang: Yeah. And as Hope has mentioned earlier, we've already started doing some experimentation on that with our own staffs, even though we're still kind of siloed off right now. So Hope said that the Torch is doing The Chimes Weekly, and so that's a crossover between Torch and The Chimes. But we've also got some writers and photographers helping work out between The Chimes and also The Point magazine, and they've been working on stories for both places throughout the semesters,
Thomas Rahkola: Yeah, and I'm going to be leading up The Chimes Media Group next year.
Hope Li: Woop woop.
Ethan Arredondo: Hang on. Can we take that with a little more weight? Thomas Rahkola is officially going to be the next, the first editor in chief of Chimes Media Group for the 2025 2026 school year.
Thomas Rahkola: I inherited this kind of brain child from y'all, and that development kind of spanned a lot of this semester,
Ethan Arredondo: Yeah.
Thomas Rahkola: Dating back to the fall semester too. But I wasn't there for those conversations, so I kind of don't know what that was like. I was wondering if you guys could, like, share about the initial conversations that happened about that merger, and then since then, what the process was like developing that kind of plan for next year?
Ethan Arredondo: Yeah. So I think there were some whispers last year between Dr Welter, who was a magazine professor and myself, and maybe you, or Dalet, who was the last editor in chief of The Chimes, yeah, just kind of thinking about how we could operate more cohesively and more efficiently and just better as as a student media body, if you will.
But over the summer, we kind of had this first conversation with Dr Joy Qualls, who is the dean of the Division of Comms, if I'm not mistaken, or associate dean, Associate Dean of the Division of Comms. So that meeting happened and it was officially made, but things kind of died down after that, and we didn't really pick the conversation back up until the beginning of the school year, when Professor Chase Andre was offered the position of chair of the student media board. If I'm not mistaken, I think that's what kind of set things in motion. Because we were all aware that this thing was kind of happening conceptually, but I don't think anyone really had an idea of how to make it happen practically or what needed to change. You know, we could kind of all call ourselves one group and change nothing operationally, but there were some financial things that had to happen in the background, at the university level to kind of make this happen, that are still going on. And also, if we really wanted to be meaningful with this change, obviously some operational and organizational things had to come. Changes had to come about. And I think Chase kind of set that in motion.
Patricia Yang: Yeah, he was really the one that helped guide us, and just starting to brainstorm overall, yeah, it was in the fall we started having, he helped organize meetings for myself, Hope and Ethan to start talking about The Chimes Media Group more, yeah, and just get connected, because we'd been so separate for so long, yeah, and The Torch is only just recently revived. So we were kind of figuring out our own identities for that year, and also trying to figure out the merger at the same time. And so we met every week, just checked in with each other on what our individual media groups were doing. And then we started brainstorming, what would it look like if we shared resources more, collaborated closer, got connected as one whole group. And then I think about halfway through the fall, that was when we started thinking about the organization chart as well.
Ethan Arredondo: Yeah.
Patricia Yang: And planning out for real, how are these structures going to be interwoven and integrated with one another?
Ethan Arredondo: Yeah, yeah, going back to what you said before, I didn't even I was very unfamiliar with The Chimes. Last year, I was friends with Dalet, friends with Monica, and there were a lot of people that I knew, obviously Alexis kind of shared was going back and forth between the two. There were some photographers that were going back and forth between the two, but very, very unaware. And towards the end of the year, I figured out that Patricia was taking over, but I didn't even really know how to make that into something that was more collaborative. And this, I think, from my perspective, came as like the right opportunity to do that.
Hope Li: Yeah, it's crazy to think that we had started having these conversations in the summer, because I kind of only got the job confirmed in the summer and didn't even get all the things I needed, like all the files that I got from last year's executive producers, and didn't really get the full onboarding experience. I was kind of working from the ground up to resurrect The Torch during the fall semester. So it's crazy to look back on that and think about and remember how we were, you know, dreaming and planting all these seeds of what it could look like and what we could do while we were still founding our own vision for our own media groups at the same time, which I guess, was really helpful, where we could work within this new structure, a new framework of The Chimes Media Group, instead of, like, I'm gonna do my own thing, see ya, you know, I'm saying yeah, but yeah, it was, like, so many weekly meetings where we were just kind of moving really slowly, understanding, okay, tell me how your org structure works. Like, tell me what this role means. Like, what is the story editor? Like, what is happening when you say this word to make sure we were all using the same language, and that's where, what Thomas was saying, like, this is our brain child. Like, it kind of is, like we put in so much work to make sure we weren't just on the same page, that we were speaking the same language, and that we knew how to communicate this language to the next people who would receive it after us. Yeah, yeah, that was crazy.
Ethan Arredondo: Yeah, yeah. A lot of Yeah. I think October, November was, like, really slow because we were just getting to know each other. I was getting to know Chase as, like, this new figure at the top of student media at Biola. And yeah, I just remember a lot of conversations of like, okay, how does your org structure work? Okay, what does it mean when you say this? And then how do these people work together? And I think The Point especially, always operated, like very independently from Chimes and from Torch, and we were kind of just this, like student run project that that Dr Walter was kind of kind of overseeing. And in recent years, we've had more and more non journalism people working at the point. And I think that has kind of deteriorated, like, the institutional memory of the point, if you want to say where we've become, like a little less journalistic and a little more artistic, a little more expressive in that way, and our the journalism has come out in that way as well.
So it was even just like a huge learning experience for me to come in and say, like, Okay, how, how was The Point grounded before? What's changed? And with The Chimes Media Group, how is it going to kind of reground us with the other groups,
Hope Li: Yeah, like honoring the legacy of the past and people who have made this, made these things the way they are, but also doing a new thing with three of us, yeah, yeah.
Ethan Arredondo: And now handing it off to Thomas.
Patricia Yang: Yes, indeed.
Ethan Arredondo: The big dog.
Thomas Rahkola: Hoorah.
Hope Li: What are you guys most excited for about this merger? Ethan, I think you're a great place to start off thinking about how to make The Point sustainable for future staffs, to create a good magazine with journal good journalistic integrity, kind of like what you're saying.
Ethan Arredondo: Yeah, I think The Point, yeah, it's become, it's getting to, I wouldn't say it is now, and maybe not for a few more years, but I think we're getting to a place where it's becoming unsustainable. There's a lot of university changes that are coming, where we just have maybe a little less funding or a little less staff available. So I think the excitement for The Point is to become sustainable and to just continue like I think we have some really talented people. I think we're doing some really good work. I mean, we won second best in the country in the fall. That’s pretty killer. So I think there are people on this campus that know what they're doing and that are excited to do it, and that are dedicated to doing it, but Chimes Media Group is going to facilitate that even more strongly than we were able to as as an independent operation previously.
Hope Li: What about you, Patricia?
Patricia Yang: Yeah, I'm excited for, yeah, the same thing that The Point's excited for. I'm also excited just for being the central news source of Biola, because now we're all here together, and we can support each other in more ways than we had before. I'm excited for just the expansion that we could potentially have, like, there's been discussions of maybe doing a YouTube channel as well, because they'd be sick, yeah, my managing editor and I found out, oh, we have this old YouTube channel. We could revive it. We just don't have enough people right now, and I think that's one of the things that The Chimes media group can bring more people, more opportunities, more room for growth, and just more opportunity for us to deliver stories in a better and more expansive way.
Hope Li: Yeah, I can see a world where we're live streaming a podcast episode that's on The Chimes YouTube channel, and, yeah, where we're just synergizing, taking
Ethan Arredondo: That's a Chase word.
Hope Li: Yeah, taking advantage of the synergy opportunities that we have, working together. And what you're saying about streamlining all of these three media groups into one channel of news for students to just know and recognize The Chimes. That's where I get my news from. That's where you go to if you want student news, student perspectives, what's going on, student opinion on certain things going on in the university. And I think it's great, too, that we have established our different, I guess, stations like audio, magazine, print and then online, whereas before it was like, Okay, there's two newspapers on campus? Like The Point and The Chimes. You know, it was kind of confusing. And then now we've established our presence in these places, and under one umbrella is going to be easier for our audience to recognize us. And yeah.
Ethan Arredondo: The channels have become, like, very defined. Yeah, Chimes. When did Chimes transition to the magazine? Was that 2021?
Patricia Yang: We started out as a physical newspaper that,
Ethan Arredondo: Yes, I remember that.
Patricia Yang: printed every week, and then it became a bi weekly thing, and then once COVID kind of rolled around, that stopped, and we made a magazine to accompany our online content.
Ethan Arredondo: Yeah, yeah. I remember that, yeah. I think that was maybe the question that the university was having. Why are we funding two magazines?
Patricia Yang: Yeah, I kind of created a little bit of competition, which I think is another reason why this The merger was happening, is because we don't want our new sources to kind of compete.
Ethan Arredondo: Yeah.
Hope Li: Unnecessarily.
Patricia Yang: Yeah. It just also confuses students. As you said, Hope, yeah. So just merging everything together, creating something that's just centralized in this one unified source would really make it all stronger.
Hope Li: For The Torch, I'm really excited to now that we've established that we can produce good content and that it is sustainable, that we can do this thing every week, I'm really excited to get The Chimes' audience, because we don't have the same number of people looking at our stuff that The Chimes has, and since we're making the same thing and we just want to appeal to the podcast audience, I think It's it'll be a great opportunity to take advantage of those resources and ways that we can and, yeah, teamwork that way.
Ethan Arredondo: Yeah.
Thomas Rahkola: There's a word that our other faculty advisor likes to use, Professor Longinow, convergence, specifically regarding media and so. And I think what that word means when in a media context is like different mediums. So like, think audio, visual, print, whatever. And so I think something that I'm looking forward to this merger kind of helping us do better, is taking a story that we want to report on and the work that our reporters are doing, to do the research, talk to people, get exclusive interviews and that kind of stuff, and bring that to the Biola like campus and students in a convergent way that appeals to people where they're used to receiving media. So if they're audio people and they like podcasts, they can consume that through podcast way. And if they prefer to read an article and be able to, like, reread it and look at it a few times. They'll be able to find that on our website and our social media will kind of help to integrate those two things and spread that around. So I'm looking forward to kind of seeing students be able to engage with our reporting across those different mediums in a convergent way.
Hope: The Chimes is hiring! Starting next year the Chimes news, the Point magazine, and the Torch podcast network will be merging to form a single student media organization. Applications for positions with each of these operations are live on Handshake now, and will be hiring through the end of the semester and into summer. Check out our show notes for a link to these applications and more information about the merger.
Ethan Arredondo: As I step down from The Point, the new Chimes Media Group is partnering with Crowell Plus Digital Media Group, which is a student run marketing agency in the within the Crowell School of Business. And the goal is to help you guys now, or Thomas, I should say, transition into the new leadership role, but also to kind of define all of these channels, build a strategy around the goal of how we communicate with the audience that you have at Biola University and even beyond. And yeah, just to help you build out something that's like really, really successful from a marketing standpoint, to kind of just strengthen all of those channels.
Thomas Rahkola: Yeah, yeah. I'm excited to spend more time thinking about audience and thinking about how we can, like, transfer the work that we do, yeah, you know, into in front of the eyes or into the ears of people on our campus. And, yeah, like you said, like, focus on those channels and what those are, and how we can expand those, the ones that already exist. Yeah. So we'll definitely be spending a lot of time thinking about, what do people want, and how can we appeal to that and and if they want it and we're providing it, what's the barrier to them, like receiving what we're doing, and how can we do a better job of informing the audience, the potential audience that exists at Biola, of the work that you know is within our market.
Ethan Arredondo: Yeah.
Hope Li: Yeah. Make it more accessible to anyone who would see it.
Ethan Arredondo: I think I'm particularly excited for Thomas, not just even the the merger, per se, but to watch Thomas go and flourish as a leader that I'm, like, totally divulging, but that was something that I just had a lot of fun doing at The Point just being a leader and just doing something that's really awesome and a lot of fun. So I'm excited for you, Thomas.
Thomas Rahkola: Thank you. Yeah. My brain is exploding with all the ideas, and I, I'm excited to to just kind of, like, focus on one thing next year, and, like, really be able to dig into the new process and, like, spend a lot of my time just thinking about it and figuring out what's going to happen. Yeah, it's going to be super fun.
Hope Li: Yeah, it's crazy. Because, in a way, where we all kind of were in your shoes at the beginning of the year, where it was like, Hey, we're going to do this new thing. What do you think? And we're like, I've never done this before. Like, I don't know what you're giving me, what is in my hands, kind of thing. And then seeing how we were doing those weekly meetings, meeting up with each other, getting know each other, trusting each other as leaders and as fellow leaders, trying to do the same thing with the same aim, and just seeing how, like, yeah, seeing how God's hand was in the whole thing too, like as personal leaders in our groups and together collectively to work on something together as this big, cool group project, it's really exciting. So yeah, that's why we're so certain that with all these visions and dreams and sometimes larger than life ideas that feel. Like, they don't all have a tangible thing to hold down on. It's kind of why we're all so certain. Like, yeah, it'll be fine. Like, we're super excited for what could come next and, yeah, what's coming up.
Patricia Yang: Yeah, it might be, like, kind of bitter thing that we don't get to actually see The Chimes Media Group launch next year as people who are part of it. But I think it's also just great being people who helped build this up in the first place, and getting to hand that off to someone else is also just something great to experience, getting to see it grow from afar, and knowing that the person that you handed it off to is helping make that grow, that you took a small part in it. Yeah, yeah. I think that in itself, is also a great blessing and joy.
Ethan Arredondo: We kind of had the opportunity to do something this year with The Chimes Media Group, because we received the announcement over the summer, last summer. But it was very fresh for all of us. We were all even coming into new leadership roles ourselves, just in our own kind of independent groups and and I was like, man, it would be really cool to, like, build something for myself that I can, you know, reap, kind of reap these benefits. But I realized probably pretty early on in in the fall semester, that this is going to be something we were handing off. And I just, I know it sounds like something, I know it sounds kind of like a loss where you're like, Oh man, I'm like, building this something, and I'm not this thing, and I'm not really going to get to experience it. But I found a lot of just joy and excitement in building something that's highly conceptual, and handing it off to Thomas. So, yeah, I think that's where, you know, David got to prepare the way for Solomon to actually build the temple. And it's really exciting to kind of live that out in our modern day context, which I wasn't expecting, but has been just really awesome.
Hope Li: Yeah. It's funny because one of our podcasting contributors to The Chimes Weekly was one of the station managers, which is what my role was called, before this year. So basically, the executive producer of, I think it was last semester or last year's team for The Torch, and she was telling me early on, she was like, it's kind of like Moses. And she was like, I feel like Moses's mom, like, when she, like, put the basket in the river and saw it, like, going off to whoever would take care of him next. And when I heard her, I was like, Oh, interesting. Like, interesting how you're seeing it. And I was like, I don't know if I'll ever feel like that, but then now that I'm leaving, I'm like, Yeah, I see it like we were stewarding this thing, and now we're seeing Moses grow up and yeah, in the hands of Thomas and his staff next year. Project, Moses. CMG.
