Episode 7 - Online School
Online school... sucks. But how can we mitigate that suckage? In this episode I talk about how virtual learning is affecting me and my friends, and what parts of it have helped and hurt me and my mental health. Hopefully we can return to normal soon, but for now this is the best we got so we have to make do.
Episode 6 - Plastic Bags
How are different levels of government dealing with the plastic bags that are contributing to the destruction of our environment? For the most part, nothing. But, some people are putting fees on these bags to try and discourage their use. How are they doing that, and how well are they working? In this episode I talk about some of those bans and how well they have worked, and how they could be improved in the future.
Episode 5 - Biden's First Week
So now that he's inaugurated, what has Joe been up to? Well, apparently a lot. In this episode I talk about some of the executive orders he's signed and other actions he's taking in his first couple of days. Some of it good, some of it not so good, all of it better than the whatever has been going on the past four years.
Episode 4 - The Aftermath of the Assault on the Capitol
The terrorist attack on the US Capitol building on Wednesday, January 6th is perhaps the most dramatic event that I have lived through during my life. In this episode, I take a close look at some of the events that have occurred as a result of the attack, and some of the implications that this whole situation has on the future of our society.
SPECIAL EPISODE - Capitol Building Riots
A non-scheduled episode to talk about my feelings on the riots that occurred at the US Capitol building today. After encouragement from Trump, rioters went up to the Capitol and broke in, disrupting a senate session and causing damage to the building (and to democracy).
Episode 3 - College Applications
In this episode, I look into some of the information surrounding college applications, and what is making it so stressful to everyone who does it. I also suggest some ideas on how to help fix these ideas, which might hopefully bring down the stress levels of teenagers, just a tiny bit.
Episode 2 - Covid-19 Vaccine Development
In this episode I take a look at what has been going on with vaccine development in the United States, as well as the history behind the vaccine. I also look at the effects the vaccine is likely to have, and some of the implications of the vaccine as we move towards the new year.
Episode 1 - Trump's Election Response
In this first episode of a brand-new podcast, we take a look at Trump's response to the election results this November. We also investigate the history of contested elections, as well as some of the potential implications that this issue has for the future.
