In this week's episode I sat down with V Spehar. V is a TikToker, podcast host, and political advocate. On their TikTok channel, Under The Desk News, V gives a brief, in-depth recap of each day’s most notable headlines. On their podcast V Interesting with V Spehar they highlight the most interesting part of stories that often get lost in the news cycle and explore the complex Big Issues that matter most. We discuss how they started their account and their approach to reporting the news, why it is so necessary to amplify voices and stories that are not often heard in the mainstream news media, the importance in understanding the lesser known ways in which current events such as the recent Supreme Court decisions and newly passed legislation are impacting marginalized communities, and much, much more.
