The Youth of The Art Effect discuss whether or not things will be different for everyone in the country from now on. Now that quarantining is coming to an end, and some changes are happening due to the BLM movement, the students discuss if the way people think about pandemics and race relations will be permanent or temporary, and what good can come from these events.

The youth of The Art Effect discuss the current climate of Protest, Police Brutality, and why Black Lives Matter. Through each question, the guest hosts express their opinion and viewpoint on this difficult time.

In this week's edition of Radio Uprising, youth DJs Nazir and Lamar ponder the meaning of "change" in these unprecedented times. Among the topics discussed are how the quarantine has altered people's impressions of seasons changing, how climate change has become more noticeable with everyone staying at home, how the quarantine has made spring and summer feel like wintertime (we're all still hunkering down), how the concept of summer vacation and summer jobs is changing, how the paradigm of public education hasn't changed much since its inception (unlike other fields such as medicine or manufacturing), and what everyone will be changing as a result of the growing they've done over the course of the pandemic. Lamar also discusses his new "code" of principles for staying productive and creative during this crisis. Finally, everyone discussed the possibility of humanity growing more and more cyborg-like and change their bodies to contain machine or robotic parts... and how they feel about it! 

In today's episode of Radio Uprising, youth DJs Matthew, Nazir, Lamar, and Tariq discuss with host David Wong how everything has become more extreme during this quarantine. First, everyone discusses how they have been "extra" or how aspects of themselves have become exaggerated during quarantine. Next, everyone discussed the pressure to be productive during quarantine, and how we're extra hard on ourselves when we're not productive. Also discussed are how hard it is to get to sleep these days, and how hard it is to concentrate on homework these days. Finally, the youth discuss extreme behaviors they have noticed in other people--like privileged people protesting the quarantine--and how they maintain their sanity in a world so full of extremes.

How is culture changing, or how has it changed since the COVID-19 epidemic set in? In this week's Radio Uprising, youth DJs Gypsy, Nazir, Lamar, and Matthew discuss the ways in which the Cornoavirus is revealing people's true colors, as well as debate reasons why people are protesting quarantine and the long-term effects this pandemic will have on the younger generation. They touch on topics such as food, fashion, and what they are doing to stave off boredom and stress.

In the first remotely-produced episode of Radio Uprising, host David Wong talks with youth DJs Gypsy and Nazir about what it's like to be a teenager during the COVID-19 pandemic. Topics discussed include what it's like to attend school virtually, what they miss most about their regular school year, what they're learning about their family being at home with them all day...and what kind of lasting emotional impact this might be having on young people today.

Building out of games we play, the youth producers get into discussing lies we tell with Mary Ellen this week. DJs Viv-and-let-Viv, Matt, Jada, and YungFxy define lies as things that aren't true and then shift their definition as they talk about the fact that books and movies are fiction, but aren't always lies. The conversation goes from encountering lies in person to digital deceit. We discuss the lies that are meant to be helpful/harmless and manipulative historical lies that have had lasting repercussions.
