This semester, the College Heights Herald is introducing The Fifth Element. It’s the Herald’s first podcast that will take its listeners through the experiences of everyday people that have unique stories. The goal of the Fifth Element is to encourage community unity through the art of storytelling. The five elements – grit, success, passion, character and growth – make a story unique and tie people together.

In the third episode of The Fifth Element, listen to WKU student Skylor Hickman apologize for a controversial Instagram photo and Lonnie Gaskins explain a different meaning of the confederate flag.
