Podcast Overview

Young Americans vote less than any other age group. They don't answer polls. They swipe past political content. And most of them will tell you they're just not that into politics. But what if disengagement isn't indifference? Not Political People is a series exploring why a generation has opted out—and what they actually think when someone bothers to ask. Host Glynn talks to 65 young people across three swing states about identity and stereotypes, the negativity that poisons political conversation, the media nobody believes, and whether voting even matters when the system feels rigged.

Episode 5: Does Any of This Matter?

The biggest barrier to voting for the young people I talked to wasn't logistics or laziness. It was the belief that politics is corrupt—and not in a partisan way. People across the spectrum told me the system was rigged.But cynicism wasn't the whole story. The people who still believed they could make a difference were the ones who felt like they weren't acting alone. When politics felt like something you do with others, it started to feel worth doing.Being political has become an identity—and it's one that feels exclusive to a lot of young people. The question isn't whether young people have anything to say, it's whether anyone is really asking.

Episode 4: Believe it When I See It

Young people spend an average of seven hours a day consuming media, and over half get their news from social platforms. So it's easy to assume we're all swimming in political content. But almost no one I talked to trusted what they were seeing.It wasn't that people trusted one outlet over another—they didn't trust any of them. What felt credible was whatever cut out the middleman: raw footage, personal relationships, influencers who seemed to have no agenda. The closer to the source, the easier to believe.But here's the thing: young people aren't just passively tuning out. They're actively pressing "not interested," curating their feeds, and making deliberate choices to keep politics out of their lives. Disengagement isn't laziness. It takes effort.

Episode 3: The Cost of Caring

Out of 65 people I talked to, 55 said politics feels divisive and negative. Most had personal experience with confrontation—arguments online, ruined friendships, the sense that expressing a belief could cost them a relationship.Here's what surprised me: the less engaged someone was, the more willing they were to listen to people they disagreed with. But they were also the most likely to stay quiet. Meanwhile, the people most eager to talk politics often couldn't understand why anyone would opt out.Being political isn't just a set of actions—it's an identity. And for a lot of young people, it's one they don't want to adopt. In this episode, we explore what that identity looks like from the outside, and why the people most willing to have real conversations are the ones least likely to start them.
