Politics for the clueless 20-somethings of the world, hosted by Dedee Droege and Jackson Cripe! Follow us on Instagram @maybeyoushouldcare
Political media doesn’t care about 20-somethings. Nobody thinks we care enough to vote anyway, so no one tries to convince us to pay attention. But how are you supposed to care about politics when nothing is made to help you understand? Maybe You Should Care is far from the solution to our media woes, but we’re here to try and make sense of everything. We aren’t experts, and we aren’t exactly journalists, but we are two young and fun news junkies who just want to talk about politics. From crash courses to current events, research to rundowns, download Maybe You Should Care to hear hot takes you’ve never heard before.
It only took us a year to talk about The Supreme Court
This was supposed to be a mini-sode, but it just didn't end up that way! A somewhat requested theme, we jumped into everything Supreme Court to give y'all some context about the basics of the Court, the death of RBG & the bigger pictures shifts the Court may be facing. This full ass episode features some lengthy (and probably dry) history dives, some classic rants about the Senate (grrr) and a bit of sass about Amy Coney Barrett (sorry, sis).

Sorry we ghosted you, the world was ending :(
IMPORTANT EDIT: We accidentally implied that the Tulsa Race Massacre took place in the 1960s, but it took place in 1921. Learn more about it here (https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/01/us/tulsa-race-massacre-1921-99th-anniversary-trnd/index.html).
Did we ghost you? Yes, yes we did. Oops! Covid times, ya know? Anyway, WELCOME TO SEASON 2 OF MAYBE YOU SHOULD CARE! It only took us 6 months to figure out how to record remotely, but with one month to go before *the big day*, we are thrilled to make our dramatic return. This episode attempts to cover a few of the massive meteors dominating the news cycle this year, including Black Lives Matter, the coronavirus, Tr*mp getting sick (tragic) and some teeny tiny election updates. We love you, we missed you, and we’re ready to rock and roll with weekly episodes. Check out the links below!

Politics Isn't Fun Any More!
Politics used to be fun for us. It used to be entertaining, engaging, impactful. Now? Now the world is a dark, stormy place and we couldn't be more emo. Hyperbole aside, we're just trying to figure out how so much of the primary changed so quickly, and once again, us 20-somethings are very much out of the conversation. Listen to Jackson and Dedee be grumpy and disagree about some liberal stuff, and maybe you can relate to our whiny energy. Xoxo, disoriented politics bbs.

The Drama We've All Been Waiting For (primary season, baby)

We're here once again to try and make this just a little bit easier for you, so listen to our new episode for some good lil updates and how we were mildly @ed by our polysci professor.

Let's Talk About the Candidates... Again (Feat. other news)
Welcome to 2020, nothing's changed! We still have plenty of political babbling for you, and we still can't stop talking about the election. If you want updates on our democratic candidates, listen to our first episode of the year to see first-hand what's wrong with the media. Hint: we're apart of it! We even try and spice up our western-centric narratives with some honesty about Iran, and don't worry, we'd never forget about impeachment. As usual, we're just trying our best. Thanks for caring!

Okay, yeah, Impeachment, but also... Other News!
Whoa, did you hear? It finally happened. We recorded this *before* the third impeachment in American history passed in the House, but we used our psychic abilities to analyze the situation anyway. And guess what? We talk about other things too. Can you believe it? Maybe you should... listen to this rambling update.
