In this episode, Paige is joined by Ishaan Srivastava, a 19-year-old political activist and host of The Ishaan S. Show, to talk about how young people are engaging with politics right now. Ishaan shares how he got involved at the local level, why grassroots activism still matters, and how those efforts can ripple into broader political change. The conversation explores the evolving role of political media, the challenge of breaking through Gen Z apathy, and why affordability and representation are central issues for younger voters. Ishaan also reflects on navigating online hate, the importance of self-care in political work, and why community remains the most powerful driver of meaningful change.
