So Why Don't You "Just Vote"?
For this week's episode, we continue the conversation from last week about the BLM movement and touch on voter suppression in the US (and specifically for college students). If these topics aren't your cup of tea, don't worry, there's plenty more we're going to talk about soon! We hope you enjoy and stick around for more!

Starting the Conversation
Hi everyone! We wanted to create a pilot episode where you'd get to learn a little bit about us, but the current events and climate of the country decided to push that to the side. In our first episode, you'll be hearing about our takes on the Black Lives Matter movement, George Floyd, protests, white privilege, and more. We hope you get a good taste of us and stick around for future episodes!
