Show Notes
Last week's result was only the beginning of a host of conversations about Irish values and where we're at as a society.
One of the conversations we've been having this week is the fact that 'millennial' is no longer a dirty word.
The "snowflakes", the "avocado toast generation", championed and pioneered this movement. They don't just use social media for selfies - they use it to further causes. They believe in social change, they are critical thinkers and don't accept what they're told.
Yes, sometimes they're snowflakes. But they're also activists.
We dig into the nuances of this generation, how they're motivated, why they do what they do, and why they/we actually might just be as special as we thought. So there.

In a rare feat of mono culture, Love Island persists as the show that unites us all and sparks water cooler conversations across the world. But with its blatant lack of diversity, stagnated format, predictable twists and gender stereotypes it should be a total flop of a show. This week Megan and Cassie wonder what makes Love Island so popular, why it is such compulsive viewing and question the shows relationship with new sponsors.
