In addressing this topic from various points of view and examples, the hosts hope to spread awareness on the importance of mental health education as well as ways to safely navigate the media.

    #5. Affirmative Action: a debate

    Despite the rescission of affirmative action in the US not being considered “recent news” anymore, the hosts recognized that the court process was rather insightful in providing varying perspectives to the topic and our everyday lives. Hence, in this episode, the hosts take on a more storytelling approach in defining what affirmative action is and discussing why it has caused so much controversy, especially in the field of college admissions. It is undeniable that the topic of racial equality and race consciousness is a point of contention, as it involves cultural aspects that various people hold close to their hearts. As such, it is with hope that disagreements over such matters only further prompt us to root our hearts in acceptance.

    #3. Israeli-Palestinian conflict: what happened before Oct. 7?

    For over a month now, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has remained to be a focal point in the media— and rightfully so. However, as the world appears to be most keen on urging individuals to take a stance and condemn one side or the other, the hosts recognized that there's a critical lack of understanding and awareness of the conflict's history and the basis of the arguments emerging from both sides. Consequently, in this episode, the hosts invited a special guest to provide background information on this decades-long conflict and to define the political terms frequently being used today. In efforts to encourage listeners to independently discern such a complex topic, the hosts also brought forth questions and explored the reasonings used by both sides to understand the nuances of this situation.
