Lucky Number 14

Can you believe today's show is our 14th!?

Today's show highlights Weekday High 2008's theme of Activism. Lillian Warner reports on why teens today are perceived as indifferent towards politics. She talked with an organization called Washington Bus. What she found out proves that most teens aren't apathetic at all. Then, Kat Beame interviews her classmate Keshav. He gets puzzled looks from his peers when he tells them he wants to attend West Point Military Academy. Kat tells us why he puts up with them.

Listen: Apathy is For Losers


(from http://www.washingtonbus.org/)

Here's the Washington Bus that travels around the state. Learn more about them here. They are awesome. The guy I interviewed, Toby Crittenden, was really nice. He was the first person I interviewed that I didn't know. It was a phone interview too, which I had never done either. Irene had to do some frantic made-up sign language telling me to hang up the phone and press the right buttons while I was talking with Toby. Haha.
