*Listening & Learning: Episode 1* Welcome back bros! Today, we’re starting a new mini-series on the podcast called Listen & Learn. We want to also use our platform on the podcast to shed light on important issues in the world that we’d like to discuss and to keep the conversation going. On this episode, we’re going to talk about what’s been happening in Palestine regarding the Israeli occupation. We dive deeper into the historical context, explain what is currently happening, and discuss the media’s role in shaping how we’ve perceived the situation up until now. We hope you’ve learned a bit while listening to us, and again wanted to disclose that we aren’t experts on the subject in any way, and are simply sharing what we’ve learned and researched in light of the recent events. And as always, stay safe!
