In this gripping episode, the hosts delve into Netflix's "Adolescence", a harrowing four-part British crime drama that has captivated audiences worldwide. The series centers on 13-year-old Jamie Miller, whose arrest for the brutal murder of his classmate, Katie Leonard, shatters his seemingly ordinary family. As the investigation unfolds, the narrative explores Jamie's descent into online radicalization, exposing the dangerous influence of incel culture and toxic masculinity on vulnerable youth. Through intense performances and a unique one-shot filming technique, Adolescence offers a chilling commentary on the perils of digital indoctrination and the societal factors that can lead to unimaginable acts. The hosts examine the series' unflinching portrayal of modern adolescence and the urgent conversations it sparks about online habits, parental awareness, and the fragility of young minds. Tune in and enjoy, Cheers!

As a kid, I always associated August with the end of summer and back-to-school time. I would get excited about shopping for school shoes and supplies like notebooks and Trapper Keepers--in large part because I attended Catholic School and wore a uniform so my biggest wardrobe choices were what color oxford shirt and knee socks to wear. So it's only fitting that I schedule guests for the month of August who are associated with education. I am pleased and privileged to bring you this week's conversation with Dr. Katie Leonard, president of Johnson College (https://johnson.edu/) in Scranton, PA. As always, the conversation was jam-packed. We covered everything from removing the stigma around two-year schools, to implementing a program to increase the amount of women in male-dominated fields, to what Dr. Leonard is most proud of overseeing at JC, to what concerts she attended recently. There was a time when she wanted to work on MTV, after all! Be sure to share and subscribe to the podcast if you'd like to hear future episodes.
