Politics Schmolitics
Politics can be tough and hard to understand. Newscasters tend to be complicated and stressful, however with Politics Schmolitics, you can understand politics for youth and anyone else, with a kid as the host! To give feedback feel free to send an email to politicsshmolitics2020@gmail.com. Enjoy! (Note to audience: The cover does say episodes are released every Saturday, but as where I am a school kid I may have to release episodes occasionally on a Sunday.)
