June 19, 2024 Politics and Pride | Is Voting a Waste of Time? Debating the Importance of Activism
This week we dove deep into politics, a subject Keegan is very passionate about. Without getting into the nitty-gritty of it, we tried to keep this a balanced discussion of voting and the importance of politics with less of a focus on who to vote for.

Your vote is your vote and you can use it as you see fit. But, the point we tried to make with this episode, is that you should actually use your vote, not let it go to waste. It does make a difference!

Speaking of voting, please, please, please vote for us for the Listener's Choice Awards at the British Podcast Awards: https://www.britishpodcastawards.com/voting
