In this episode, we start off with a dive into a fun, imagination-filled conversation about which century we’d travel back to and how our favorite TV shows shaped those choices. We also explore which movie or TV characters or even mythical creatures we’d become, along with our dream jobs and a few spontaneous “what if” questions along the way. To wrap things up, we reflect on our favorite memories at CU and the experiences that have defined our time there. Inspired by our love of great storytelling, we spotlight HBO Max as the perfect platform for its wide variety of shows that cater to every kind of viewer.
