    As pumpkins light up the night sky, and monsters mash away on the dance floor, The Prospector faces their biggest fear, socialization.

    After making its debut last Fall, The Prospector Digest returns to The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) as an alternate episode to season 13 of The Prospector Podcast!

Washington speaks on how marketing is adapting to an evolving digital landscape, and teases changes to the student ticketing process.

  • Picking Up on Books and Boba!
    Sep 18 2025

    With the fall semester back in full swing, it’s important that as college students we have some pick me ups to get us through our assignments and textbooks.


    So how about a little reading for enjoyment paired with some fun drinks? Well, that combination is exactly what’s highlighted on episode two, season 13 of The Prospector Podcast!


    Author of the novel “Early this Morning,” Darrell Barry, flew all the way from San Antonio to discuss his book over the U.S. military’s former “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” policy.


    After that, Fuba Tea co-owner Justin Chang joins the podcast and shares the company's history and drinks!
