BuzzCast is a podcast hosted by Connor Sempf and talks about all things related to Georgia Tech. The podcast actively invites students, faculty members, and alums to share their experiences living and learning in the heart of Atlanta. Topics covered on BuzzCast range from campus aesthetics to clubs and activities to Greek life to research facilities and opportunities… On this episode of BuzzCast, “Tech Tunnels,” the host, Connor, brings the listeners along to investigate a myth floating around the south side of Georgia Tech’s campus: a series of scary and mysterious underground tunnels. To unveil the shroud around the mystery, Connor invites Stone Bonner, a current student at Georgia Tech who lived in the apartments built right above the underground tunnels, to share his experience living there and about the rumors he had heard from students around him. Stone connects the myth to Dark Academia, an aesthetic/art style that quickly rose in popularity in recent times. A quick and concise overview of Dark Academia is included in the episode; thus, no prior knowledge of the topic is necessary. An understanding of the plot of The Secret History by Donna Tartt is recommended, however. The episode focuses on this, at the first, peculiar connection between the myth and Dark Academia and investigates the deeper effects it inflicts upon the analytical and technical minds of the students around campus.
