Bright Future

Samuel Adams

Stagnant government failing to resolve the debt ceiling crisis? State-level abortion laws making changes to healthcare? Total inaction towards gun and police violence? Political lines dividing the nation? Welcome to Bright Future, a political podcast that follows current events which aims to see how we could solve today's problems for a better tomorrow. Controversial or not, we will cover any topic. Each episode starts with an essay section that covers the facts and my own opinion. Don’t agree with me, or think I missed an important fact? After my essay, I open discussion to anyone else who wants to speak up. Episodes are recorded live in my discord server, “https://discord.gg/dv2VppV” without quotations. Each episode is then released on Mondays at 3PM central, so be sure to check back regularly for new episodes!
