@BEOYouth | Us boys are confused out here! Listen to this episode and let us know what you think! Bonus sound bites at the very end after the music!
@BEOYouth | This is year 5. We wanted to talk with someone from year 1, where it all began. So we did. Dr. Flemming called Shane and this is part of that conversation.
Today's episode is all with the students. We didn't have any help from our teachers. Our topic for today was the stress of transitioning into adulthood which branched off into many pretty good topics.
@BEOYouth | "We interviewed the president and the vice president of the Philadelphia School Board of Education. We asked them some pretty great questions and they gave us some pretty awesome responses. My name is Adrese Hill and this is not an episode you want to miss! I hope you enjoy!"
@BEOYouth | Is success having money? Boats? Mental health? Just enough? More than enough? Grades? We have our thoughts...
@BEOYouth | Let's get at it! We talk about immigration, race, and who the original illegal immigrants were.

@BEOYouth | We didn't plan for this episode to happen. One day we were talking about politics, money, and voting. So Dr. Flemming took out the microphones and we just kept the discussion going.
@BEOYouth | We sat down with Rakin to discuss his vision for King and asked about some of the things he said at the debate.

@BEOYouth | Hi, this is Dr. Flemming. The news broke the morning of April 10th just before this class, the class behind the podcast, started for the day. OJ Simpson had died. Our student body president, Kamar, interrupted the class to be sure I knew. I knew. Understanding the generational gap, I wasn't sure if these students, who were born in 2006 and turning 18 in 2024, more than 40 years after OJ's NFL days and nearly 30 years after the "trial of the century" knew anything about OJ, his career or the trial. So I asked them. "Who was OJ Simpson?"
@BEOYouth | We watched a spoken word performance on YouTube called "Magic Trick" by Chole Carterr. This episode is our response.
