Feeling Some Type of Way is the only podcast hosted by teenagers, for teenagers. 16-year-old Adriana and 17-year-old Kyle are tired of adults representing who teenagers are. Every other week, hear about their friendships, corny jokes, and social media habits as well as the pressure they feel to get into college and learning to feel comfortable in their own bodies.

Stressed
