'The Rag'

In the fall of 2025, two University of Texas seniors revived a long-disbanded campus counterculture magazine called The Rag. The Rag's original iteration began in 1966. For a little more than a decade, the student-led magazine critiqued and wrote satire related to campus and federal government. This, during a time when the Vietnam War created social upheaval on college campuses across the US, including UT-Austin. In this episode, The Drag's Keana Saberi brings us the publication's creation story, which is one spurred by activism but also mired by tragedy.
