Heard Through The GrapeVine - An Oberlin Grape Original Podcast
Lars W
Yes, you read that right! The Grape now has its own podcast companion available on SoundCloud. Released at the same time as each issue, “Heard Through The GrapeVine” follows a couple Grape employee hosts, Stanley and Timmy, each week as they delve into inspiring stories and interviews. The first episode is out now and the reviews are in! Take a look at what listeners are saying about our podcast:
“I wasn’t the biggest fan of when they took multiple bathroom breaks and didn’t edit out that audio.”
Ferris Barlowe, ‘28
“It felt like they were kinda trying to pad the episode with as many sophisticated words or phrases as possible to make themselves appear worldly. But they just didn’t fit well into their sentences at all. One host said ‘I’m not entirely sanguine about this, so I’m still down to clown.’ And the other kept interjecting anything with the phrase ‘That’s very sobering to hear.’”
Ava Jennings, ‘26
“Incredibly insightful and preliminary. They play with the format in a way no one thought possible. If I didn’t think ‘one person could change the world’ before I’m definitely a subscriber to that belief now.”
The New York Times
“I’m fucking fuming. I hate those host fuckers Stanley and Tommy or whatever the fuck their names are. My blood boils everytime I hear from them.”
The Oberlin Review
“Seriously, is no one gonna talk about the three minute long pee stream? No? Just me? I don’t know how it's even possible to drink that much fluids in the span of an hour.”
Ferris Barlowe, ‘28
“They had Steve Cornacki on for a fifteen minute segment to break down election results, but they ended up doing all they’re ad reads then, interrupting him. Then Steve was fascinated by the 10% off deal they mentioned when promoting the Philips OneBlade and he wanted a cut. I don’t even know why I didn’t tune out at this point.”
Ava Jennings, ‘26
“Timothy and Stanley have an undeniable chemistry and unique perspectives. They allow us to appreciate why they feel a certain way and then subvert that appreciation. They are playing 16-D chess, it seems.”
The New York Times
“If I saw little Tomothy or Stan walking down the street, alone, unguarded, well, I don’t even wanna know what would happen.”
The Oberlin Review
“So now the sound of his pee stream hitting the toilet bowl and him going, ‘Ahh, so good’ is burned into my brain. The sound of the stream hitting had a weird high-pitched screech, too. And it was so loud. It like burst my fucking ear-hymen.”
Ferris Barlowe, ‘28
“Not sure if there is a toilet right in the middle of their recording studio, but the guest said ‘Dude, I can hear you peeing through my headphones. It’s so funny. So fucking funny.’”
The New York Times
“They tried to do some political commentary but it just devolved into them arguing about who would win in a football game, the indisputable greatest football team of all time or a team of silverback gorillas.”
Ava Jennings, ‘26
“Count your fucking days, motherfuckers.”
The Oberlin Review
“Yup, his pee stream is definitely sounding unhealthy. Not to mention when he found it was burning a hole straight through the porcelain of the toilet like it was a sheet of snow. We’re looking at a possible urinary tract infection.”
Dr. Shelton (Timmy’s physician)
“My instinct is to say the gorillas because their run game is unmatched and you can’t really block that shit. The human players will probably get mauled. But I don’t think gorillas are even capable of throwing a tight spiral, so I guess the jury’s out for now.”
