Hey! We are Ash and Katy, this is our podcast, Always the Last to Know! Growing up we were taught how to live in the world, everything was going fine…until literally, the entire world changed, thus making everything we had learned essentially obsolete. Needless to say, Mr. Feeny and Cory Matthews did not prepare us for social media takeovers, taxes, or making our way through an insane world where an entire generation is trauma bonded.
It feels like we missed entire lessons on things so the goal is to fill in the gaps of our education- from discussions on current laws to clones, from N.A.T.O to what's hidden under melting glaciers, join us while we attempt to navigate our way through the world, figure out adulthood, and hopefully learn something new along the way!

LGBTQ+ Youth Homelessness
This week, we learn about why LGBTQ+ youth homelessness is so prominent. We also discuss the physical and mental tolls that shelter life and living on the streets take on our queer youth, and then we highlight organizations that are taking matters into their hands to curb this epidemic.

Princess Diana: The Final Chapter
This week, we end our saga on Princess Diana. We cover everything from the divorce to the investigation of her death. Please note, we will absolutely not be entertaining any conspiracy theories about her death. That would be disrespectful to her memory, and would take away from the accountability of the people who actually caused her death.
