ABOUT THIS SHOW

From the Chasing the Whimsy Podcast, we will meet and hang out with five teenagers each month to get to know what it's like to be a Gen Z in today's day and age. We will discuss summer, first days of school, and maybe dive into the struggles that most teens face but maybe not talk about. Follow us as we break down the Gen Gap and better understand what it is to be Gen Z. Join Ben from Chasing the Whimsy, in Whimsy with a Z.
