“This Is A Numbers Game And The Math Isn’t Adding Up.” A High School Senior’s Perspective On High School, America’s Youth, and Democracy.

Should this podcast become a food podcast? Eddie and Steph debate as they recount their visit to Francesco’s. They decide against it and Steph provides some clarity on the one mil referendum vote and shares some of her graduation remarks before welcoming special guest, Elizabeth Vanos (16:48). Elizabeth talks about how it feels to be a nearly 18-year-old in this world (18:00) and how she often finds that a basic knowledge base and factual arguments are missing in debates with her classmates (21:09). She touches on the unresolved impact of Covid (26:41) and gives us a young woman’s perspective on what’s going on with the boys (29:14). Eddie and Steph learn what a FOID is (33:11) before Steph steers the conversation to how Elizabeth would improve the student experience in high school (40:00). Elizabeth shares what it’s like to have a mom who is a School Board Member (57:29) and contextualizes current events from a historical perspective (1:01). They then discuss A.I. (1:14:17) and Elizabeth provides predictions for herself (1:25:32). * Extracurricular Podcast [https://www.instagram.com/extracurricular_podcast/] * Stephanie Vanos [https://www.instagram.com/votevanos/] * Eddie Geller [https://www.instagram.com/gellered/]

“The Voting Rights Act As We Knew It—It’s Done.” Fighting For Voting Rights With Equal Ground FL’s Genesis Robinson.

This week, Steph and Eddie power through their intro because Steph is busy! They do get a little time to talk about weddings, work retreats, daughters, and movie clubs, but it’s all business after that. Today’s guest is Genesis Robison, the Executive Director of Equal Ground Education Fund and Action Fund, Florida’s preeminent Black-led voting rights organization. Genesis began by explaining the work that Equal Ground does in fighting for voting rights and how Genesis himself got into the work (11:28). Then, we jump right into what is happening now with Florida’s egregious gerrymander and how Equal Ground is using the courts to fight back (17:27). We also walk through a few of the other ways Florida is suppressing the vote with the newest legislation coming out of the most recent legislative session (28:55). We then look through the national lens at the gutting of the Voting Rights Act in the Louisiana v. Callais Supreme Court Decision, and how state-based voting rights legislation may be the next move (37:11). Finally, Genesis shares how folks can support the work of Equal Ground and fight back against these relentless attacks on voting rights in Florida and across the country (51:06). * Equal Ground FL [https://www.instagram.com/equalgroundfl/]  * Extracurricular Podcast [https://www.instagram.com/extracurricular_podcast/] * Stephanie Vanos [https://www.instagram.com/votevanos/] * Eddie Geller [https://www.instagram.com/gellered/]

episode Understanding The Lawsuit That Could Upend Florida’s Education System cover

Understanding The Lawsuit That Could Upend Florida’s Education System

Wow, we totally missed this, but the Extracurricular Podcast (neé TBD) is over a year old! We celebrated by dedicating nearly two minutes to commemorate the occasion. (No but really we’re quite proud.) Today we spent our time digging into the blockbuster of a lawsuit: Spar vs Kamoutsas. Eddie begins by asking Stephanie what this lawsuit is all about, why she joined, and what it means to be a plaintiff (13:52). We then followed up by discussing what’s next and the implications of the suit (29:08). Finally, Steph and Eddie switch gears by discussing Florida’s new plan to roll out an alternative to A.P. U.S. History—which is both laughable and completely unnerving (39:19).  * Extracurricular Podcast [https://www.instagram.com/extracurricular_podcast/] * Stephanie Vanos [https://www.instagram.com/votevanos/] * Eddie Geller [https://www.instagram.com/gellered/]

How Florida’s Gerrymandered Maps Degrade Our Democracy With Rep. Rita Harris

After a two-week hiatus, Steph and Eddie return with Florida Representative from District 44, Rita Harris. We start by going into a bit of Rep. Harris’s background, how she made the decision to go from activism to electoral politics, and how reality differed from expectations of what it would be like to be a member of the Florida House of Representatives (14:20). We then talked over two of the bills that Harris sponsored that made it into law from the most recent session, but also some of the most distressing pieces of legislation that passed (24:40). Then, of course, we dug into the recent redistricting/Gerrymandering that’s taken place in Florida but also how we keep fighting when times are tough (38:20). Finally, we engaged in a little bit of hope for the 2026 midterms, dug into the story of how Rep. Harris started out as a Theater Kid, and shouted out her own podcast: In Session with Rep. Rita (54:56). * In Session with Rep Rita Podcast [https://rss.com/podcasts/in-session-with-rep-rita/] * Rep.

How Lee Perry Is Fighting For The Climate On A Local Level

Steph and Eddie begin this week’s episode with a recap of some OCPS business: Denim Day, a debate about the dress code, and SAFE coordinator cuts. Then they welcome Lee Perry to the podcast (14:20). Lee is a climate activist, campaigner, and podcast host here in Orange County. Lee begins by discussing her background in climate activism and how she works to bring together folks with differing views. Next, the crew discusses institutional barriers to making change in local government and what we can do to change that. They also talk about how we’re failing students and young people when it comes to education around climate change (45:46), and how important it is to be an involved and accessible elected official. Lastly, we dig into Lee’s podcast, Organizing to Victory, and how Lee recharges. * Lee Perry [https://www.instagram.com/leealyse.perry/] * Organizing to Victory podcast [https://organizingtovictory.com/podcast/] * Extracurricular Podcast [https://www.instagram.com/extracurricular_podcast/] * Stephanie Vanos [https://www.instagram.com/votevanos/] * Eddie Geller [https://www.instagram.com/gellered/]

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
