This week USC student Jaclyn Imai joins us in a fascinating conversation about our presidency in pop culture. We will be comparing Saturday Night Live sketches in the Obama era vs. the Trump era and how comedy affects the way we now receive news. We will examine the importance of freedom of speech and how the political climate feels on a college campus. Also, as an Asian American, Jaclyn discusses the lack of representation she feels in media, and how we can do better. This is a show not to be missed.
