Should teens have political opinions?


Listen Later

At what age did you have a fully formed political perspective? Did tens of thousands of people listen to you? Well, teens today are more influential than ever.

From Charlie Kirk to Greta Thunberg, teenagers and children have long had political influence. But what’s new is that teenagers are creating their own media ecosystem for teenagers, by teenagers. And they’re doing it through highly popular podcasts, like: MD Foodie Boyz or The LOL Podcast.

Brittany, NPR’s Jordan-Marie Smith, and The Cut’s EJ Dickson are delving into the “boyosphere” and exploring what teenage boys and girls are talking about in the rapidly expanding child content creator space. What do these teens have to say about politics and more? And what do their views say about all our futures?
