COVID-19 Anxiety: How is this impacting young people?
Hello folks, and welcome back to Millennial Trash! I know I have been absent for...an embarrassing amount of time, but I'm happy to be getting the show back on the road.
Today we will be discussing COVID-19 and breaking down some of the most important things surrounding it: the hysteria, the stimulus package, and how it's disrupting the lives of young people.
I am not a doctor! I am not a public health professional! This is NOT a podcast about health information. Instead, I'm offering a young person's perspective on overcoming the setbacks, staying social in the digital age, and breaking down some information regarding the stimulus package recently passed by congress.
I sincerely hope you are managing to stay healthy and safe during these times. If you have a story or information to share as a young person being impacted, contact me, I would love to get you featured on the next episode. Shoot me a message! Are you a small business needing some extra boosting? Let me know and we will try to feature you on our social media.
Until next time!

Chick-fil-a: to eat, or not to eat? That is the question.
Can you believe?? I'm finally posting on an actual Tuesday!
You've probably seen recent posts on social media about Chick-fil-a rolling back donations to anti-LGBTQ+ groups...and you're probably having deja-vu over the whole thing. Yes, that's right, Chick-fil-a has recently made vague comments about changing their donation strategy, but can we believe them? Have you ever wondered what groups Chick-fil-a is donating to, how they effect LGBTQ+ people, and what you can do to make a difference? Well then, this is the episode for you!
In this episode of Millennial Trash we are going back to 2012 where the controversy all began. Join me as we look at some of the organizations receiving money from Chick-fil-a, have a discussion on being a conscious consumer, and talk about why organizations often make PR changes when they do (I'll give you a hint, it's not because they've had a change of heart).
As always, please let me know what topics you'd like to have discussed on our next episode. Checkout our first official "That's Cool Thursday" episode coming this week where I'll talk about a current pop-culture trend. Share this episode as money I gain from listeners is going towards the group Love Has No Labels.
See you next week!

"Okay, boomer." Breaking down the generational divide.
Recently the phrase "okay, boomer" has become a popular meme, joke, and rebuttal across social media. But have you ever stopped and thought...where did the phrase come from? Why do I, a young person, find it so funny and also so relatable? Well, this is the podcast for you. On this episode of Millennial Trash, we take a look at the political and historical nuances that cause the generational tension between Boomers/Gen X and Millennials/Gen Z.
Have you ever wondered how Boomers affected the economy? Want to know why your grandpa cares so much about how convenient life can sometimes be for young people? Why does Karen always feel the need to speak to the manager? Why do 50% of Boomer marriages end in divorce? Tune in!
**Yes, this did not get posted on Tuesday. Yes, I am behind on my post schedule. Yes, I will do better, scouts honor.**

I-M-P-E-A-C-H-M-E-N-T, do you know what that means?
Hello, hello, and welcome to my first ever episode of Millennial Trash, with me - Will Leitch! This is a podcast where I will be breaking down major political happenings every Tuesday, and providing some snarky comments on pop culture on Thursday. If you're looking for an alternative method of getting information you want to know more about, or you're just looking for some chatter to enjoy during your long car ride, let this podcast be your new obsession.
In this inaugural episode we are going to be breaking down some misconceptions involving impeachment. What is impeachment? How does it work? What's the history of impeachment in the U.S.? What's going on with Donald Trump and why does he try to run the country like a shady business?? Tune in and hopefully you'll get answers to those very questions.
Are there topics you'd like me to discuss? Pop culture moments you'd like me to react to? Let me know and I'm happy to work them into my discussions. Want to ask me a question to get some personalized information on a topic regarding politics and current events, leave a comment, DM me, or send me an audio message to include your voice in an upcoming episode.
