In our everyday lives, we are constantly making judgements and forming opinions on other people based on age. In this podcast, we unpack the roots of these ideas through intergenerational conversation and discussion, diving deep into personal experiences, and becoming comfortable with vulnerability. Run by a teen, we hope to help provide young adults with a safe and conducive outlet to truly discuss their beliefs, while also offering a safe space for adults to do the same—the issue goes both ways.

Because I Said So--S3E9: The Youth Have Infiltrated The Legislature!
The Tennessee Student Voter Act was a bill created by students, for students. It’s main goal is to better inform students of resources regarding registration and voting. In this episode, Matthew Maroney, a recent Hume-Fogg graduate and cofounder of the bill, speaks on the surprising accessibility of politics, the process of developing the bill and moving through the General Assembly as young person, and different aspects of local government that make it a conducive environment to institute change. We also discuss what allows elected officials to use strategy over actual political knowledge and what advice he has for young people looking to get involved. Though the bill was killed, Katie Walker and others are looking to reintroduce an edited version again this year, one I hope you all will look into and consider supporting.
