Global Voices: A Foreign Exchange Story, Amazon Deforestation, and Spicy Opinions

In this globe-spanning episode, we sit down with a foreign exchange student to hear firsthand what it’s like navigating a new culture, school, and way of life. Then, we dive into a sobering look at the recent destruction of 1,000 acres of the Amazon rainforest—why it happened, who’s responsible, and what it means for the planet. And finally, we lighten things up (or heat them up?) with some unfiltered hot takes you won’t want to miss. From heartfelt stories to environmental urgency and unapologetic opinions, this episode has it all.
