Podcasts by The Teen Age
Originally set to represent teenagers in media, this podcast has become a mix between sharing teenage voices (literally) and educating people about topics that are important to others. I cover whatever topic that catches my interest, including interviews about religion, a book review on school-mandated literature, and a Would You Rather I thought about for a full year before finally asking some people.
I'm happy that I get to work on this podcast, and I hope you enjoy it.
