How do we go about putting out the flames our society finds itself submerged in before it burns to the ground? The Next Generation takes a look at all these topical issues from the perspective of 19-year-old host, Elliot Bewick. Expect not only chats with the older 'experts' but also to hear from the people actually growing up amongst this carnage - Gen Z. The aim of this podcast isn't to complain for sympathy or increased exposure but to bend the arc of the modern world towards solutions, truth, and a love for the beautiful adventure of life itself.
