Episode 18: The 'Politics' episode

Politics might seem boring, confusing, or just not your thing—but what if we told you it affects nearly everything in your life? From school to social justice, climate change to cost of living, your voice matters more than you think.

In this episode, the hosts sits down with Evie and Lewis, two former youth councillors, to break down why politics isn’t just for adults in suits. We cover what politics really is, how global events shape your day-to-day life, and how young people can influence change—locally and nationally.

No boring lectures. No political party bias. Just real talk about how you can get informed, get involved, and make a difference.

• Why should you vote?
• How can you spot political bias on social media?
• What is the UK Youth Parliament and how do you get involved?

Whether you're already a young activist or someone who’s never voted, this episode is for you.
