    Racial Equality for Everyone by Seth J.

    In this episode, I will emphasize the need to respect people's similarities and more importantly, their differences. Having mutual respect for one another is the only way we can ever hope to achieve racial equality and social justice.

    Do athletes have a right to practice their given sport and play games during COVID-19? by Jared G.

    In my podcast, I will talk about student-athletes not having the chance to practice and play with their teams during the COVID-19 pandemic. Should the coaches and players listen to government officials and stay safe by not practicing during times of mandated no practice periods? Or, should they risk contracting the virus by practicing with their teams and playing against other opponents with agreed upon safety procedures in place in order to be safe?

    Wildfires of 2020 by Patty H.

    In my podcast, I want to make everyone realize what not to do to cause a wildfire. I'll also explain the importance of wildfire preparedness. Wildfires have been incredibly destructive as of late, causing hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage and even worse, the loss of life. People have lost their homes, businesses, and sadly family members, and this cycle of destruction continues. We need to raise awareness and break this cycle.

    COVID News: The vast effects of Coronavirus on the public by Roman A. and Noah S.

    Due to COVID-19, our lives are basically put on hold. People are beating up Chinese (and Asians) because of it, and finally, the number of crazy conspiracies that exist have harmful effects. In our podcast, we will bring up as many negatives aspects related to this pandemic as we can. Hopefully, our conversation will open the eyes of our listeners about the other horrors of coronavirus besides the infection itself.
