Teeny Topics: Recent Episodes
Dr Ben Lohmeyer
Teeny is a tiny podcast about teeny topics.
Youth - Young People - Youth Work
Is youth really the best time of your life? Why do adults cause so much trouble for young people? Are “Millennials” really lazy? What do young people care about? How can I show I care about young people?
…these and many other little questions in just a few minutes.
Hosted by Dr Ben Lohmeyer
“Youths” at the skate park or shops breaking things and getting in fights are favourite topics of currents affairs programs or social media clickbait.
Is there something about young people or being young that is violent?
I share a few stories from my book to challenge to this subtle and unconscious association.

In this episode Benjamin Sorre (current youth work student at Tabor) tells us about his “Choose Your Own Adventure" Book that explores questions of choice and violence.
He talks about how he wanted to not simply think about the issues academically, but create something that gave people an experience.
He also points us toward some of the ideas that shaped his story including the Sociological Imagination, White Knuckle Care Work and the effects of youth as a social structure.

In this episode, I forget to introduce myself (great start) and then Dr Phil Daughtry tells us a little about how Australian Youth Spirituality might best be as revealed in the quiet and persistent production of hope. This seems a pertinent message for our time.
