Welcome to Lines of Inquiry, a student-run podcast where we share our knowledge and our perspectives on the world around us. In episode 2, we share our process as writers and the opinions that matter to us. We chose topics where it matters that we find common ground: protecting macaws, banning assault weapons, exercising, composting, preserving play for children, donating bone marrow, investing in renewable energy, advocating equality for the LGBTQ+ community, and protecting sharks. We did our research to find evidence to support our claims, and we believe our voices matter. Thank you for bringing an open mind to our ideas. "We might not all agree on everything, but we might as well try to make the world a better place."
