We wanted to start this podcast in order to give a voice to teens like us, who want to express their thoughts to the world and relate to their own experiences. Each week, a new group of people will put together a piece and present it on this podcast. Hope you enjoy listening! - from Arshia, Monica, Taarana, Tharun, Reisha, Min, Sithu, Anushka, Sakthi, Srinish, Ansh, Emil, Sowmya, Anjali, Sreekar, Chadwick, Siya, Varsha, Savni, and Aditi :)
This episode featured Arshia, Anjali, Taarana and Sakthi. They first dived into the lack of diversity when Asians get jobs. Is it because we all like STEM-related activities or is there another underlying reason behind it? After, they thought about how it's also related to teenagers in this generation. Most high schoolers tend to work towards the same goals.. engineers, lawyers or doctors. They tried to find the root of this problem asking if it starts at a high age in high school or young by the pressure of their parents. Tune in a super interesting and in-depth episode!!
This episode features Sreekar, Ansh, and guest speakers, Rahul and Sritan. A very fun game of 'Would you Rather' was played and they went in depth about multiple different topics.. would you rather have telekinesis or telepathy? Or even, would you rather control space or time? Another super interesting question was if they would rather have one book or one movie for the rest of their life. Tune in for a very fascinating episode!
