About This Podcast

As politically active minors, my partner, Olivia Ahrens, and I decided to tackle the issue of gun control for our podcast. We strongly believe that every side of an issue deserves to be heard in order to form an opinion of your own, so we framed our podcast in way that showcased a conversation between Democratic and Republican standpoints. Inside the issue of gun control, we will be addressing facts on gun violence, mental illness, mass shootings, policies, political misconceptions and how we can use our votes to make the change we want to see.

Podcaster Bio

My name is Jordan Sharkey and I am currently a senior at Mountain View High School. I will be attending Chapman University in the fall as a Film major. I am also planning to minor in political science. I was excited to develop a podcast that tackles different, controversial topics in a podcast alongside my partner because I am extremely passionate about political conversation and participation. I am a stern believer that listening to each other in this political climate is critical for progress to occur. I also hope to encourage my peers to become politically involved and use their vote next election to create the change they believe to see.

I really valued this project because it gave me an opportunity to explore a topic that I wanted to explore and give my opinion on it. I really appreciated the oppurtunity to express my voice on a larger platform.
