Welcome back to our Podcast! We apologize for the late upload again. This weeks episode is about the division of the GOP! We discuss the inoperative political climate for the right and the impacts of Donald Trump’s presidency on the Republican Party.  

Question Of The Day: Are morals a social construct? 

Announcements:  The first is that we have expanded all episodes of our podcast to Spotify and Anchor. If listening there is easier for you, feel free to make that switch.

Welcome back! This video discusses Biden’s First 100 Days in Office with Illinois House Representative Daniel Didech. There's been a lot going on at the White House, and President Biden's plans are coming to fruition faster than we can say "impeachment"; pun intended. We apologize for our awkward posting schedule lately, we’ve been having internal issues and then technical issues and are still learning, in addition to some big tournaments in school. This week we will have a video posted on Friday and then another one next Monday in order to catch up. Stay tuned for upcoming episodes! Thank you for watching!

Again, welcome back to Youth Voice!!! 

In today's episode we decided to focus on the pressing issue of climate change and solutions such as the Green New Deal and the Paris Climate Accords. Global warming, as Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders puts it, is the most existential threat of our time. Greenhouse gas emissions, mostly from burning coal, oil, natural gas, and manufacturing cement are enormous man-caused contributors to global warming. The scope of adverse impacts that it is having on the world is becoming more and more harrowing; ranging all the way from literally turning the ocean into a rising acid pool to massive heat waves/wildfires. According to the Climate Clock, there are only 6 years and 337 days to achieve zero carbon emissions (or under a 34.7 degree Fahrenheit threshold) before the affects of climate change become irreversible. At this point, there is no more denying it, the science has long backed up that global warming exists and it needs to be addressed. While climate change is not a political issue, it has sadly been politicized by certain right-wing elected officials. The new Biden administration will start tackling this issue more forcefully than the previous administration (where almost no initiative whatsoever was taken to combat the climate crisis). This will no longer be misconceived as a left--right dispute, but rather a humankind dispute. The earth is our home, and we need to protect it by taking action (links provided below)! I hope all you viewers, newer to the podcast or those that have listened 'since the beginning, enjoy this episode and understand the significance of this existential crisis. Today's episode features Sharanya, Ben, Vageesh, Ishan, and Riddhi. Shoutout to Ishan for audio editing and Sharanya for video editing, thank you guys so much!

Welcome! Welcome back to our loyal fans! This weeks episode talks about a very well-known topic with a small twist. The Effects of COVID-19 on Students. While we are probably not the most hard hit generation, this is a little insight on what we feel and how we are handling it.   Fans, we have two big announcements this week:  The first is that we have expanded all episodes of our podcast to Spotify and Anchor. If listening there is easier for you, feel free to make that switch. If you have any friends who listen to podcasts on either of those two platforms, we would greatly appreciate it if you could give us a little tip :)  Secondly, we have worked through new recording software and found our favorite. Next week will feature clear and louder sound. --Ben

Welcome back to the Youth Voice Podcast Episode 2: January 6th Capitol Buildings Riot. The events that unfolded at the capitol are what can only be described as an attack on our democracy; an attempted coup. The obscene and appalling behavior of the insurgents was proof of how the Trump administration had been feeding false information and inciting sedition to overturn the results of the 2020 election far before it happened.  We all saw this coming, and yet the unpreparedness was striking to millions of viewers that watched as the capitol building was stormed, vandalized, desecrated, and tarnished with blood.  Our podcast team looked at this abysmal incident, and decided to provide our perspectives on what transpired that day. You might be searching for answers, looking for youth perspectives on this, or just needing to have it broken down by a group of well-informed teenagers in lieu of the prepotent mainstream media; and that is exactly what we provided today. Today’s episode features Ben, Sharanya, Riddhi, Ishan, and Vageesh.   Follow us on socials!

Please stay safe, healthy, and sane!

Hello! Welcome to the first episode of our podcast Youth Voice. We are a group of teens that aim to be heard in the political and social world. While teenagers don’t have a voice in terms of our vote, we are the future, and it is especially important that you listen to us. The work that lawmakers do every day affects us just as much as anybody else, and while we don’t have ballots to cast, thanks to social media, it’s easy to share our opinions.  To adults I say: listen to us, because we are the future of our country. And let your children develop their own opinions, irrespective of yours, especially in the polarized world we live in today.  To my fellow teenagers I say: take time to educate yourself. Whether it’s listening to this podcast, reading the news, watching, or even partaking in a debate. No matter what anyone says, we’re not too young to begin informing ourselves about politics. Soon enough we will have the right to cast an educated ballot and participate in this great democracy.  Special Shoutout to Vageesh and Sharanya for editing this episode!  Today’s episode features Ben, Sharanya, Vageesh, Riddhi, and our special guest from the League of Women Voters: Lali Watt.  Next week may feature more members such as Alex and Ishan!   Please remember to vote tomorrow if you live in Georgia!  Instagram: Youth Voice Tik Tok: Youth Voice Official Business Email for Queries: [email protected]  Resources: I Will Vote Georgia: https://iwillvote.com/votinginfo/ga/ More info on Lali Watt: https://www.lwv.org/about-us/staff-le
