Young Democracy

I'm joined by my roommate and host of the Debate Without Debate Podcast Asher Bykov as we shoot the shit about college life and try to understand the headlines from the first few weeks of September 2019.

Explore the unique political situation of the Republic of Turkey, a country at the edge of Europe, with the greatest number of imprisoned journalists of anywhere in the world. At the start of the 20th century, it seemed like the Republic of Turkey was destined to be one of the worlds strongest democracies, but today, nothing could seem farther from the truth.

Join Rhode Island's Anchorman in this episode of Young Democracy as we cover the role of media in society and his rise to local fame.

What's life really like for your local student/activist? Is Politics on fire? Will Rhode Island ever elect someone who isn't part of the mob? The answer to these questions and so much more await you in Episode 1 of Young Democracy w/ Everett Smith. The most civil civil society show on the air, welcome to Young Democracy.

Tune in for an inspiring and nuanced conversation with the founders of March For Our Lives Rhode Island.

Join me on this week's episode as I talk to two remarkable activists from California about their new campaign to combat the rising culture of polarization in America.

In this episode we take a deep dive on what's going on in China's Xinjiang Province, reading statements from press interviews with prisoners released from the camps, and discussing what exactly we're supposed to do from half-way across the world. This Episode was recorded five months ago, but we felt it was time to re-ignite some discussion on the topic, and I hope you find it as meaningful as we did.
