Us Outspoken Podcast
Hey there! Chris, Gabby, and Mattea here!
We are three college kids who are trying to make sense of the world and everything going on within it. Our conversations take us through anything and everything – from politics to pop culture.
Join us every Wednesday for new episodes!
As the world holds its breath on the race to 270 Electoral College votes, we discuss what Trump's re-election or Biden's ascendancy might mean to Southeast Asia, specifically our home country of Indonesia.

We're back!
This week we discuss protests and riots: if they're different things and how effective they are in changing public policy. We also touch on protesting in the age of Covid-19 and its subsequent shift to digital activism.

CALLING ALL GEN Z! KIDS OF THE INTERNET!
This week, we discuss Gen Z (our very own generation), the internet, as well as political and social activism in the digital age. We also touch on media literacy, compare access to information to the older generations, and -- of course -- memes.

We talk about the seemingly unspoken problems with race in Asia, particularly on attitudes that sweep the conversation under the rug. We dive deep into colorism, racism's roots in colonialism, and share some experiences with race on the daily.

This week, we talk about recent trends on the internet with the hashtag #EatTheRich. We'll discuss the ethics of billionaires, meritocracy, what it takes to create a more equitable and charitable environment, and also comment on progressive policies ala Sanders-Warren.

Avada Cancelvra! (terrible pun fully intentional)
This week, we draw on J.K. Rowling to discuss the dilemma around cancel culture and its effectiveness as a tool of the internet. We also (almost) argue about what might make the public "cancel" someone, and how this affects free speech.
Catch part 2 of our discussion on cancel culture next week!

In our inaugural episode, we discussed the current world condition (vis-a-vis the Covid-19 Pandemic) in which we created our podcast. We also weigh in on the importance of mask-wearing culture, as well as the debate surrounding going back to a "new normal".
