Episode 11: OLP Women's Symposium 2026
"The Women's Symposium is a high school event in San Diego that's all about empowering women to follow their dreams and goals. Every year, women from different careers come and talk about their experiences, the challenges they faced, and why they chose their paths. Hearing their stories makes me realize that there isn't just one way to be successful. And it helps me feel more confident about my own future. It also makes me think about careers I haven't really considered before. I like how it gives students a chance to ask questions and actually connect with people who have real life experiences. Overall, it encourages me to use my voice, believe in myself, and remind me that I can achieve my goals if I work hard and stay motivated."

Episode 9: When Music Meets the Moment: The 2026 Grammys
In this teen-created episode, we break down the most talked-about moments from the 2026 Grammy Awards, a night that felt historic and, at times, controversial. We highlight major wins by Latin artists, including Bad Bunny, and explore how several performers used their acceptance speeches to address issues surrounding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and deportations. While some viewers praised these moments as powerful calls for awareness, others questioned whether a music awards show is the right place for political statements. This episode invites listeners to consider both perspectives: should artists focus solely on their craft, or is using their platform to speak on social issues an important part of their role?
We also talk about upcoming shows and our favorite venues!

Throughout the episode they share their opinions, and see if their hot takes are crazy or not.
