Show notes

Have you ever pondered the luxury of staying on the sidelines of political conversation? In our first episode of 2024, we unravel the intricacies of political engagement. In a world where the personal is political, we dissect a viral social media post that claims one cannot be non-political, sparking a debate that explores the privilege inherent in disengagement, specifically when human rights are involved. Our candid dialogue promises to enlighten and challenge your perspective on what it means to be a part of the democratic process, and why stepping into the arena, no matter how small your first step, can be a journey worth taking.
