Join us for part TWO of our more informal and on-the-spot duology of episodes where we discuss how we would reform the education system, Colin vs Cuthbert and the story of why we started this podcast in the first place. Expect debate, laughter and borderline bullying (mostly from Sanjana) to hopefully lighten up your day after exam season!

As we come up on exam season, join us for part one of a two-part series where we answer questions suggested by our Instagram followers off-the-cuff having never seen them before, in a minimally edited raw take. From discussing pineapple on pizza to 'not all men', with a sprinkling of light-hearted bullying throughout, we hope you enjoy this fairly easy listen and get an insight into what our voice note DM conversations are genuinely like!

Join Pradnya and Sanjana once again, where we'll be discussing the question, "Is ethical consumption under capitalism possible?". Our Big Brain word of the month is 'Cognitive Dissonance'; we'll be looking at this mental battle in the context of buying ethically, alongside discussing the role the media plays in all this. Stick around to also find out why Sanjana hates the word 'dichotomy' and whether she and Pradnya are really friends.

Welcome back to the Gen Z Manifesto! This month we'll be asking: because of how easy it supposedly is to access information in the modern age, do we now have a responsibility to be educated? So join us as we talk about social media, forget who Hillary Clinton is and figure out how to pronounce that third phrase in our episode title! Don't forget to vote on our Instagram story once you've finished the episode too!

Is being selfish human nature?

Some say yes, some say no, some say CAPITALISM.

Join us for our first episode as we discuss the philosophy of human nature, Big Brain words like egotistical individualism and try to find out whether we really are inherently selfish or if that's just some good old capitalist propaganda.
