Communism was a fixture of the 20th century. From the Cold War to Orwell’s Animal Farm, the western world spent much of its time exploring, criticizing and fighting against this supposed ‘beast’ which aimed for equality and government control. Karl Marx envisaged a utopian system: is it? Today we get the youth’s opinion on this polarising ideology, with guest Peter Molloy.

This week has been a whirlwind: from turbulent Brexit talks to Trump’s collusion clearing (sort of). Today we cover Brunei’s LGBT laws and Ellen De Generes calls to boycott Brunei, racism in football and recent examples and the prominent sentencing of Aaron Campbell, the callous killer of six year-old Alesha MacPhail on the Isle of Bute. Today we get the youth’s opinions on these headlines and debates. Join the discussion by following us on Instagram and Twitter @yunopodcast. Produced by Scott Maxwell.
The prevalence of atheism has led many to question faith and the relevance of it in society. Many religious people defend God, whilst agnostics are open to the idea.

Welcome to yuno. We are an idea, a movement with the intention of giving young people a platform to express their views on current issues. Things must change. Right now, we have a lack of outlet to become politically engaged (as mainstream media doesn't pander to us), leading to many out-of-touch people labelling us as 'unaware' and 'unable' in terms of forming and expressing our views. Sounds good? Keep listening. I'm sure you'll love us. Join the discussion by following us on Instagram @yunopodcast. Produced by Scott Maxwell
