About the Contributor

Rico Ardister, CPTV Staff, Excalibur Staff, Lead Writer

Driven by working in the media and production world since he was 7, Rico Ardister, now a Junior at Crown Point High School, is a dedicated member of the CPTV media team, where he channels his creativity into the world of radio and TV. Rico is actively involved in two podcasts on The Dog Radio: The Mystery Machine, which he co-hosts with Rana Stevens, and The Reel Review with Two Regulah Guyz, which is also a co-hosted show with Barandon Boling. These two shows showcase his versatility both on air and behind the scenes. This year marks Rico’s first year joining Excalibur Yearbook, and he has joined Inklings Newspaper this semester, further expanding his involvement in student journalism. Beyond media, he is a passionate global warming activist and a political voice on social media platforms, using his influence to advocate for environmental action and engage in important conversations. What began as an appreciation for storytelling has become a passion and an excessive outlet for him. With a blend of outgoing charm and thoughtful introspection, Ardister is focused on honing his media production and speaking skills to share compelling stories and explore new ideas with a diverse audience.
