What do young Americans want from politics and media today? Bradley talks to Aidan Kohn-Murphy, the founder of Gen-Z for Change, and Avalon Zborovsky-Fenster, the founder of InternshipGirl and board member of the Sustainable Media Center, about why they want to build bridges to older generations, how online platforms like TikTok can better protect users, and what their generation thinks about AI.

This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City’s only free podcast recording studio.
