In the editor’s rotation: Re-entering my theater kid era

By Stella Powers | September 7, 2025

I must warn you: my music taste is all over the place and vastly different from that of the typical college student. Sure, I love my mainstream pop girlies as much as the next person, but I also love my older music, comedic songs and, unfortunately, showtunes, which have infiltrated my recent musical diet a bit more than I’m willing to admit. But my hope is that there are some new songs on here that you have never heard before, and may add to your daily rotations – even if it’s just one or two.All that being said, my Spotify “on repeat” has been quite the trip recently. Buckle up, you’re in for a wild ride!

By Ayla Peden | September 6, 2025

While Sabrina Carpenter may not be “Man’s Best Friend,” I would so let her be mine.On Aug. 29, the pop sensation released her seventh studio album to the begging hands of anyone who has ever had to deal with a “Manchild,” and let me tell you, I was excited.Much like her last album “Short n’ Sweet,” many of the songs were produced and co-written by Jack Antonoff, who has worked with other artists such as Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, Lorde and more.

Where to shop for clothes in Oxford

By Stella Powers | September 3, 2025

With the new semester approaching, students are packing their things and preparing for move-in. Every year, Miamians are faced with the tough decision of what to bring with them and what to leave at home, especially those coming from out of state. But what happens if they forget an essential, or find out later on that they weren’t as prepared in the fashion realm as they thought?Luckily, a few places in Oxford can spice up your wardrobe this school year, whether you’re looking for a nice new sweater from a boutique or something pre-loved from a local thrift store.

The Miami Dance Corps: A club for expression and friendship

By Ayla Peden | September 1, 2025

For many years, Miami University has been a place where students could thrive, not just academically, but socially as well. But how has Miami created this place where so many friendships flourish? The answer lies in the hundreds of clubs that have been established around the campus.One such group that has had a profound impact on its members is the Miami Dance Corps (MDC).

1868 may be underground, but to the dedicated staff, the establishment is larger than life.

As we approach the first day of school, one important topic remains at the forefront of many Miamians minds: Oxford’s best drinking establishments. With a wide variety to choose from, it isn’t possible to pick one best place (though I do have my favorites…), so instead, I’ve created a list of the best bars for every occasion.

‘F1’ movie review: Dazzling visuals, score dampened by distracting plots

By Parker Green | July 18, 2025

There are few things I would rather do than watch 20 multi-millionaires hurtle around oddly-shaped tracks in glamorous locales, battling it out in a marvel of instinct, engineering and strategy.It’s a passion that I have sacrificed my sleep schedule, money and, quite frankly, my sanity for, so when it was announced that Lewis Hamilton (arguably the greatest driver of all time and certainly the most decorated) was producing a Formula One (F1) movie, it was inevitable that I would watch it.Directed by Joseph Kosinski (of “Top Gun: Maverick” fame), starring Brad Pitt (“Fight Club” and “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”) and running just over two and a half hours, “F1” was a whirlwind, both good and bad.

By Stella Powers | May 8, 2025

When people see a Marvel movie, they can typically expect fun action sequences, some comedy and almost always, a post-credit scene. “Thunderbolts*” (now being marketed as “The New Avengers), the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), delivers all of that. Additionally, it also battles a new villain: mental health.Released on May 2, Marvel’s “Thunderbolts*” stars Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, Lewis Pullman as Robert Reynolds, David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov, Wyatt Russell as John Walker, Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr and more.
