Minor Issues

This week, Lilley talks about feminism and the way women are treated with her friend Cecilia. They cover some of the big issues surrounding women in society, including how they're treated at work, their portrayal in the media, and America's problems with sexual assault. 

Because feminism is SO broad, you can look for more episodes on it in the future, but this is a great introduction. Have a great week everyone!

As COVID cases rise, people all across the country are debating how to start the school year. Is virtual learning smarter, or should schools re-open? That's the question Lilley tackles this week with two of her classmates, Elham and Sophie, who have different opinions on the matter. The media has shared the thoughts of politicians, school boards, and doctors on going back to school, but the students don't really have a voice in the matter. So, in this episode you can hear the arguments from the students themselves -- one who favors going back to school and who doesn't. Thanks for tuning in!
