Season 1, Episode 2: Identify the Problem, Solve the Problem, and Break the Labels
DISCLAIMER: This episode was recorded on 10 February 2021, so the news announced on the Positive News section occurred the week prior. Another disclaimer is that AJ keeps saying “gender inclusiveness” when she actually means “gender exclusiveness.” For the After School Podcast Official today, Dani and AJ will focus on Machine Gun Kelly’s movie music video, Downfalls High, the stigmatism on skaters, and the gender exclusiveness of skating. Most of it is breaking labels, and not only identifying problems, but also solving them. Our intro and outro song is “Dreaming” by Smallpools. STAY TUNED FOR BLOOPERS!!!
