According to some voting statistics, millennials are apathetic when in comes to politics. On today’s AudioFiles we explore how millennials ARE participating in the issues of our time. We visit a bacon festival (and animal rights rally!) in Williamsburg and a “watch party” of the second GOP debate for 20 to 30-somethings. Our special guest Q&A is journalist Jere Van Dyke. And, Brooklyn band “Workman Song” joins us in the studio for a live set.
