How does a generation, often defined by memes and digital natives, actually engage with the political world shaping its future? iGen Politics, from Politicon, moves beyond the headlines and hot takes to explore the lived experience of politics for the newest wave of voters and activists. This isn't a lecture series; it's a documentary-style journey into the movements, cultural shifts, and personal stories that define political life right now. Each episode digs into a single topic, blending narrative storytelling with insightful interviews, to understand how policy, government, and societal change are filtered through a distinctly contemporary lens. You'll hear from organizers, artists, researchers, and everyday people who are navigating this landscape, offering a ground-level view that statistics often miss. The iGen Politics podcast provides context for the noise, examining the intersection of news, culture, and power without assuming prior expertise. It’s for anyone curious about why things are the way they are and where they might be headed, listening not for partisan debate but for a deeper, more nuanced understanding. Tune in for a thoughtful, human-centered exploration of the forces at play in our collective life, one story at a time.
