Navigating Now is back! A podcast designed to help young people find answers to the big questions about life, politics, and global issues.

How does the cost of living affect me? Where should I get my news from? Our Navigating Now podcast is ready to tackle the big questions with two bonus episodes. Co-created with young people, these episodes address key issues that matter to them most in this year of seismic political change. Based on our Youth Voices 2024 research, we discuss topics including the cost of living, reliable news sources, and wellbeing.
