In Episode 47, we brought on two of our peers, Reese and Andrew, for another episode of our Great Debates series, in which we discuss controversial statements and evaluate how they may pertain to our generation. We talked about whether men and women should always split the bill on dates, if it's preferable to die tomorrow or live forever, and whether election voting should be mandatory. 

A special thanks to Reese Polk and Andrew Volynsky.

In Episode 46, we brought on two of our peers to discuss the little-debated notion of how our country has adopted the concept of 'living to work,’ which is relatively contrary to the rest of the world. We touched upon our own experiences struggling to balance the desire to do what you love with monetary success when striving for fulfillment, the toxicity of always thinking about “what’s next,” and how technology and social media have reinforced these ideas in our generation’s minds.

A special thanks to Sabrina Golden and Lucy Harper.

On Episode 45, we're back for our first show of the new year talking about to some people who have become involved with executive youth positions on administrations that facilitate communal health and local political participation. In our interview with Gaby, we talk about why there needs to be more Gen-Z representation in older-dominated collectives, making difficult decisions to promote equity, and how, through proper passion and work, it's easier than most people think to propel change.

A special thanks to Gaby Beck.

On Episode 44, we sat down with three high school actors and discussed how they approach productions and characters in such a volatile industry at a young age.

On Episode 42, we discussed what makes our generational motivations and emotions differentiate from others, arguing an "imaginary standard" is prevalent throughout today's youth that might not have been there in the past. We also caught up after our brief "college-turned" hiatus to discuss world events like the Facebook whistleblower scandal and the ramifications that may have on our peers if action is taken.

In Episode 39, we interviewed psychotherapist Inna Danieli about today's teens struggles with anxiety, depression, and mental health stigmas. We discussed her visual approach to therapy, whether there is a different generational approach to addressing mental health today than in the past, and the things teens can do to manage their stress given all the sensory overload prevalent in today's world. We also reflected on our conversation and discussed the trivialization of certain mental health disorders and vulnerability.
