High Levels Of Littering In Chicago 

I was inspired to make this podcast because of littering and how it causes specific communities and neighborhoods to look bad and dirty. I live in a neighborhood that is dirty, but the people leaving inside the neighborhood are very nice and respectful.

Is Construction in Belmont Cragin Becoming a Problem? 

What inspired me to make a podcast about construction problems was that I deal with these problems daily. By other people hearing the problems my community encounters with construction, I would want others to understand how people like me feel and maybe try to do something to make a change. 

Undocumented People Living in Fear in Chicago

We were inspired to do this podcast because of our identity and the people in our community. We are both Mexican - American and we are surrounded by people of the same ethnicity as us. We get to see day by day how their life goes. We get to hear their stories and struggles, one of them being undocumented. Most people here in Chicago are undocumented people living in fear. They live in fear because unlike most of us they do not have citizenship here in America. Not having citizenship here in America creates a lot  of danger and fear.

Do You Want to Drink at Such a Young Age? 

We were inspired to make this a podcast because of how very few people talk about alcohol. We feel as if the only rule is to drink when the law says you can for that specific age or you hide your drinking from your parents. We want more teens to be aware and informed about the effects of drinking alcohol.

 The Current Lives of Undocumented Members of the U.S.

What inspired us to make this podcast is the thoughts of our own families and others' families dealing with deportation and losing their jobs because of anti-immigrant laws. I want people to think about how much these new laws and events impact the U.S. more than the government thought it would impact this country. 

The Dangers of Bike Lanes

I was inspired to do a podcast on this topic because it is what I like to do. I enjoy doing it.

 Homelessness  Issues

I was inspired to do this podcast on this topic because it really caught my attention because I was shocked how many people here are homeless and in our community and in our bus stops outside pharmacies it's just really disappointing.

 Acá entre nosotros.

Algo que me inspiró para hacer este podcast fue que vi en la televisión casos sobre discriminacion en todas partes del mundo, quiero que las personas sepan que muchas personas están sufriendo y no le pueden decir a otra personas porque no se sienten seguras por eso le puse Aca entre nosotros.

Immigration + Detention Center

I was inspired to make a podcast about this topic because it isn't talked about enough, which is sad.
