WTF is Up with Gen Z

No one really talks about what it's actually like being a teenager. Every teenager is different and manages the life of being kind of still a child and kind of an adult differently. Join us as we interview different teens in our community and explore what it truly is like to be a teen while also being teens ourselves.

In this podcast, we explore recent trends, daily life, dreams, and hobbies of teenagers, and we mean REAL teenagers. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wtfgenz/support
