Students marched to UC Berkeley’s Sproul Plaza in reaction to Donald Trump’s election to the U.S. Presidency.

What a week it’s been, right? Donald Trump is now President-Elect of the United States of America. Which has many millennials wondering, what does Trump’s win mean for our communities and our nation?

In this podcast, Youth Radio brings an intimate look at the private hopes, fears, and questions of young people in this time of political change. We drop in on conversations teens are having among themselves — from a cautiously optimistic college republican in Georgia, to a concerned circle of Latinos teens in DC, to passionate group of high school protesters in Berkeley.
