The paradox of being a teen in 2026. In this episode we deep dive teen culture, specifically: where do all the teens go when there's no teen media, but social media is banned?

Let's talk about Coachella - how did we get here? Despite years of music festivals being inherently counter-cultural, Coachella feels different.
