What The Friday Youth Podcast
The What The Friday Youth Podcast is a youth-led podcast where young people explore the topics that matter most—from mental , physical and sexual health to careers, relationships, identity and everyday life.
In the world of social media ‘fake news’, and fake experts, What the Friday provides honest, relatable content and features conversations with professionals who provide advice and information that can be trusted.
All the episodes are co-produced with young people. They choose the topics, the questions and even get the chance to host episodes. The episodes are even edited and produced by young people too!
All episodes are available on all the main podcast platforms including Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube – which means links to can be easily shared. All episodes are also available on the Destination webapp.
From each episode we also take the key questions and the answers to create information reels which provides bite-size snippets that we share on socials and publish on the Destination webapp.
