An in depth review of current events and social issues from the perspective of the narrator, a high school student looking to do a deep dive on issues that matter, and answer the question, why politics? More importantly, why you should care about politics, and why you should care about what's happening around you.

    Does size matter?

    Does size matter?

    So, we ask an age-old question this week. Does size matter? Size of the government of course. This week we have a 3 person panel, with Nathaniel, Oscar, and Marc all chiming in on their opinions.

    I hope you enjoy!

    Review of the Week #2

    Hey everyone. Here I am. As promised. Well, there's not much to say. I thought I would make a long, elaborate speech, but no. No speech. Just the episode.

    Hope you enjoy.

    Episode #8: America, Are we really that great? - The Great Debate

    Episode #8: America, Are we really that great? - The Great Debate

    So, I'm back. 

    This week, we talk about the idea of American exceptionalism

    We love the country we live in, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have questions about it.

     Only when we scrutinize what we love, we can fully understand it. Anyways, we talk about the issues America has faced, and the idea of American 'exceptionalism', or the belief that America is the greatest country ever, and whether that idea is right or wrong. 

    This one may be controversial, but I hope you all enjoy. 

    This one should be good. 

    As always, if you disagree with me, good! I love to be wrong. Everyone at some point in their lives will be wrong, and I'd like you to convince me otherwise. I live in this country after all, so I'd have nothing to lose and everything to gain by living in the greatest country in the world. 



    I hope you enjoy the episode!

I hope you all enjoy.

    The lost episode : 5 - healthcare

    The lost episode : 5 - healthcare

    Hey everyone. 

    I know what you're thinking, why haven't I uploaded this week's episode? Well, to put it plainly, I wanted to keep true to a promise I made earlier in an episode. I remember the disappointment from not getting a year-end healthcare debate, after my very unfortunate mishap, and so, I promised that if I were to be able to salvage any form of sound recordings of that episode, I would upload it in its full glory on the internet. Now, I never expected this day to come, but here it is. In all of its glory, here is, the healthcare episode. Rough around the edges, and with some gags, this episode is all-around a pretty solid and brilliant debate, between 2 opposing forces. Healthcare for all v. freedom of choice. Contentious, loud, but overall jovial, I hope you all enjoy this episode as much as I did making it. Uploads will be weekly from now on (although I can't predict the future) and I hope you'll tune in. Maybe you'll listen? Maybe you'll like it? Maybe you'll tell a friend? Maybe I'll stop asking so many questions? 



    ANYWHO, I hope you enjoy!
