Zoe Williams hosts the Teaching and Learning Styles episode. She discusses what is needed in the education system in order to produce a community where students are constantly exposed to different learning styles throughout their educational careers, teachers who are aware that not everyone can succeed from their preferred teaching style, and overall, what is possible if more people cared to see a difference in the way students of all ages are taught.

Visva Mistry is a freshman at Kean University. She focused her SPOKEN! Podcast episode on how much coffee a college student drinks and what is done with the waste of the cups when you throw them away. She also includes some guests to ask their opinion on the topic. If you give it a listen, I promise you will be shocked by the numbers!

Who will be president? Will there be another term for our presiding president? Through all the talks and craziness about the upcoming election in November, we still don’t know where this election is heading. Yinilo Santana and Jennifer Bonola's goal is to empower students to vote. Today, many current-day millennials disregard elections because they believe that their vote doesn't make a difference compared to thousands of others; or at an early age, they found the voting process complicated. We want to set our country on the right path, but we need our young voters to voice their choice of candidate. We are the future.
