2024 in review: Top #GINNing podcasts of the year

Every week, the award-winning #GINNing podcast sits down with the students, faculty, staff and alumni of the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering to learn their stories. This year’s top five podcasts by download are:

5. The Great Grelli

With yet another internship locked up at Lockheed Martin, Jersey born aerospace aficionado Ava Grelli is going places — and Boeing places. So, buckle up and get your ears on because this rocket retriever overachiever is racing toward space at a breakneck pace.

4. Not-So-Rotten Tomatoes

We've always said "never let a good tomato go to waste." Unless, of course, Bipasyana Dhungana, could use it to change the world.

3. The President of Mars

Auburn University currently claims six astronauts. We're willing to bet chemical engineering alumna and current graduate student Kate Handel may soon make it seven.

2. Mr. Mechanical

The man, the myth, the unincorporated legend. Ladies and gentlemen — senior mechanical engineering lecturer, undergraduate program officer, student advisor and director of the Design and Manufacturing Lab, Jordan Roberts.

1. On the March

Meet biosystems engineering sophomore Bella Nonales, a dean's list dynamo with a chance of making history as the drummiest major in the history of the Auburn University Marching Band. Not bad for someone who just celebrated her 5th birthday.
