LA JOLLA, Calif. – Episode 96 of Tritoncast, the official podcast for UC San Diego Athletics, has dropped and is available to download or stream on every major podcast platform.

Coming up this week in the Triton Spotlight, we're chatting UC San Diego fencing with Renee Zuhars. The épée captain tells us how she got into this unique sport and why she's stuck with it for so long. Renee is kind enough to give us a Fencing 101 lesson as well. Beyond her sport, the microbiology major will tell us what she's been working on in the lab. And what grandma hobby has Renee recently taken up? You'll find out in this week's Triton Spotlight. Plus, host Jeff Tourial puts Renee through the ringer for our popular Quick Picks segment!

New episodes of Tritoncast premiere each Wednesday and are available on the most popular podcasting apps, including Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Audible, iHeartRadio, Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn, and Vurbl. Select episodes of the show can also be seen on the UCSDTritons YouTube channel. In addition, each episode can be heard and downloaded on UCSDTritons.com.
