How do Gen Z Americans feel about democracy? The short answer: overall they believe in its principles, but don’t feel it’s working for them. In this episode, we explore unique ways that Gen Z is engaging in democracy (and not engaging), and what people of all ages need to do to encourage the next generation of peaceful leaders.

Gotta go fast. This week on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast we're taking a look at one of the recent entries in the DC Extended Universe, The Flash! Beware, there's spoilers, and going back in time may tear the fabric of the multiverse! Is what I'd say if our time travel rules made more sense than the ones in The Flash. Enough editorializing! The review is in the show, not the description! Let us know what you thought in the comments!
