D&Z Podcast, Episode 34: The Radical Youth Rabbit Hole

When you hear the phrase “radicalized youth,” what image comes to mind? Kinda depends on your politics: wherever we stand on the left-to-right spectrum, we usually worry about violent extremism coming from somewhere else. 

Sure, some of our own ideas might be a little out-there, but… hold on… maybe we’ve been radicalized, and we don’t even know it yet! Yikes. Things have definitely gotten more intense now that we’re all living on the Internet*. 

In this episode, we talk about where, how and why youth radicalization happens, and how to fix the worst of it, while sharing some of our own experiences down those dark online rabbit holes.
