Saiesha’s Political Hypothesis
Saiesha’s Political Hypothesis
Saiesha Suri
Hi! I'm Saiesha. Creating this podcast has allowed me to express my hypothesis on politics and what's going on in the world today. In my daily life, I seem to submerge myself into political debates and this podcast allows me to explore a range of political beliefs and ideologies, all while forming some of my own. With my own constantly evolving political beliefs as a young adult, I feel that forming a balanced debate and actually just listening to both sides of the argument allows me to be more self-aware, and this is where I do it.
