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

This Halloween, we present a very special edition of The Prospector Podcast. Our ghost enthusiasts reminisce on trips to haunted places in El Paso. Movie fans discuss the best horror movies, while trying not to scare those with light hearts.

Finally, the podcast goes on the road, to ask students questions for free candy.

Happy Halloween from The Prospector! The only way to celebrate is by watching our special.

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!

We head back to the Education Building to host discussions revolving around UTEP’s Fast Track program, the implications of money games in collegiate sports, and finally, we speak to associate athletic director of fan engagement and digital strategy, Jon Washington, over the state of free athletic tickets open to students. Washington speaks on how marketing is adapting to an evolving digital landscape, and teases changes to the student ticketing process.

This Digest edition of The Prospector Podcast is the third episode of season 13! More episodes are available on our youtube channel, and spotify. Follow us on Instagram @utep_prospector

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!

After delaying the inevitable with a Spin-Off series, The Prospector Podcast makes its way back into UTEP Student Media and Publications with its 13th season!

Since we’ve reached lucky number 13, our staff made sure to make this season premiere, the most special in all of Texas. We start by first, talking about the Miners’ Football, Volleyball, and Soccer season. To add a cherry on top, a new staff reporter and layout editor offer tips for those nervous about the new school year.

Finally, sports editor Kristian Hernandez, multimedia editor Sebastian Perez-Navarro, and EIC Evelyn Palma, sit down to host UTEP President Heather Wilson. She discusses the possibility of a law school at UTEP, the return of a Mining Program, and the university’s AI curriculum, which even includes a tease about possible changes for campus parking coming next Fall.

Welcome to The 13th season of The Prospector Podcast!

To conclude The Prospector’s venture into summer podcasting, the whole staff really had to use their “imagination,” to create what is possibly one of the most creative, and funniest podcast episodes made by UTEP Student Media and Publications.

We learn about coffee passports with our Audience and Engagement editor and run down summer blockbuster season by learning what movies are worth the watch! Finally, we talk to a true star, Patrick Star, over how Spongebob The Musical is bringing its underwater magic to UTEP!
