Description

Kyle and Tom sit down for a one-on-one to unpack the generational shifts in how we view education, engage in public discourse, and access information. From their first concerts (The Beatles vs. late 90s pop) to debates about cancel culture and campus free speech, they explore how younger generations are being shaped by digital consumption, ideological echo chambers, and a declining interest in history. They also get personal about their own information habits, higher ed's ideological leanings, and what we lose when we stop listening to the other side.
