Hop in and listen to the latest Youth Updates looking at how young people talk about *trauma*, the return of festivals, what a glow up is and a new up-and-coming social media platform!

Youth Updates is one year old! Huzzah! In this special drop of Youth Updates we reflect back on what we were talking about one year ago and how things have moved on since then. Alongside this, we take a look at 'that' moment from the Oscars and the importance of young people sharing their faith with their mates.

'1 in 3 young people miss lockdown' - was a finding from a piece of research we discuss in this month's episode, as well as how the Russia Ukraine conflict is affecting young people and what on earth the streaming platform Twitch is.

What do drill music, Encanto and being happily single have in common?! They're all a part of this episode! Join Hannah, Beth and their guest, Jon, as they have a good old chinwag about some elements of youth culture - and let's not forget the sensational word of the month! 

It's 2022 and Youth Updates is back! Join us (with our fancy new clean audio quality!) as we reflect on key Google trends of 2021, think about the patterns of young people's church attendance and a type of fishing that keeps appearing in celebrity culture. We're lowkey excited for this one...

Join us as welcome a special guest in a one-off 'Youth Updates' all about the issue of sexting, but never fear – we've still got a word of the month for you!
