THE RISE OF PHYSICAL MEDIA

James Klusener @jamesklusener   The quote, “Sooner or later, everything old is new again,” attributed to Stephen King, aptly captures the resurgence of physical media that gained momentum in 2024 and 2025.   One of the most notable examples of this revival is vinyl records. According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), vinyl sales generated approximately $1.4 billion in revenue by the end of 2024 — a figure not seen since 1984. This raises an important question: What […]

WICKED: HOW THE SONGS SHAPE THE STORY

Amari Maré @amari.mare   Wicked, starring Ariana Grande as Galinda (later Glinda) and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, brings the beloved Broadway musical to the screen, using music as a powerful storytelling tool. The film explores how the Wicked Witch of the West came to be and reimagines the world of Oz by giving depth, motivation and humanity to characters long known only by their reputations.   Rather than simply retelling The Wizard of Oz, Wicked fills in emotional and narrative […]

RED BULL BASEMENT: TURN YOUR IDEA INTO REALITY

Mhlengi Khumalo @into.mbiyakwakhumalo   We all have had that one idea—the one that pops into your head while you’re staring at the ceiling at 02:00 or hanging out with your friends and having fun. It is like a spark in a lightbulb, where you think, “Why hasn’t someone invented this yet?”   Usually, those ideas fade away by morning, but what if you could take that spark and give it some serious tech muscle? What if all you need is […]

THE IMPORTANCE OF R&O: WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

Abygail Smit @Abysmit06   As the first-years of 2026 begin packing their bags, purchasing household essentials and saying their goodbyes, North-West University (NWU) is preparing to welcome a new group of students. Many first-years look forward to the university’s annual Reception and Orientation (R&O) programme, which provides information about the campus, Potchefstroom and student life in general.   Although R&O is popular among new students, it is not compulsory, and some choose to skip the programme and return only when […]

How Santa Claus, Christmas trees, festive meals and worldwide cheer became associated with the holiday season?   While modern Christmas is often characterised by warmth and celebration, its origins are far more complex. Across history, different cultures marked midwinter in vastly different ways, many of which predate Christianity and influenced the traditions we now associate with Christmas.   Early Winter Celebrations   Long […]
