“You have within you right now, everything you need to deal with whatever the world can throw at you."— Brian Tracy

Host Julia Howe starts by discussing teen health and doctor appointments. She offers these tips:

• Prioritize mental health by finding a support system and knowing when to ask for help.

• Build habits that future-you will be grateful for, like staying active, eating well, and actually sleeping at a reasonable hour.
• Be aware of relationships—whether that means friendships, dating, or just surrounding yourself with people who lift you up instead of dragging you down.

She advocates for asking questions. Be involved. The choices we make today shape who we become tomorrow. If we want to be strong, healthy, and ready for whatever life throws at us, we have to start taking charge—now. Your health. Your body. Your future. Own it.

In segment two, Julia tackles dress codes. Schools argue that dress codes exist for three main reasons:

1. To prevent distractions.
2. To promote professionalism.
3. To ensure safety.

Julia breaks down the rules and offers better suggestions. Dress codes should be about making sure students feel comfortable and respected, not about controlling what they wear. Schools should be places of learning, not places where students—especially girls, students of color, and religious minorities—are constantly policed over their appearance.

Julia’s final message: “Your voice, your power, your future!”

Teen hosts were under the weather for today’s broadcast, so producer, Cynthia Brian, interviewed reporter Milan about plans for 2025. It’s been 25 years since the millennial celebration, many years before our young volunteers were born. A quarter of a century is a long time! Milan talked about resolutions that most people make and offered a few of his own.

Cynthia is working a new book, her 12th, but her main goal is to bring great radio to our Voice America listeners on our new platform, Libsyn. She also reminded us that to predict the future, we need to create it ourselves. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail! What are your plans for 2025?

• "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." – Marcel Proust

Imagine this: a powerful ancient civilization, built on advanced technology and opulence, suddenly disappearing beneath the waves of the Atlantic Ocean, leaving behind only mysterious legends and unanswered questions. Hosts Saanvi Phaneendra and Julia Howard dive deeply into the histories and mysteries that have fascinated experts, scientists, and explorers for centuries. From watery Atlantis to the icy moons of Saturn and Jupiter, from bioluminescent sharks to Göbekli Tepe, the massive ancient structure in Turkey dating back to 9600 BCE; thousands of years before the pyramids, Julia and Saanvi show us how every discovery pushes the boundaries of what we think we know. Tune in to unearth the unknown.

"The Earth is the cradle of humanity, but mankind cannot stay in the cradle forever."

· Host and reporter of Space Spotlight, Saanvi Phaneendra, embarks on a journey beyond our planet to explore sustainability in the universe. Whether it’s surviving on Mars, creating self-sufficient space stations, or even living on an exoplanet, sustainability is a critical element. Space missions teach us valuable lessons that we can apply here on Earth, promoting a circular economy, reducing waste, and pushing us to develop smarter technologies for resource management. Future Mars habitats will need to be designed with sustainability at their core. This means using local materials to build structures, growing food in hydroponic and aeroponic farms, and harnessing solar energy to power life-support systems. Whether it’s recycling water on the ISS, farming in space, or mining asteroids, one thing is clear—sustainability is key to our future among the stars.

Remember, the lessons we learn from space exploration can help us build a more sustainable future right here on Earth.

“Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” – JFK

Host Keerthi travels back to the inauguration of George Washington to give a humorous, yet informative history of Presidential inaugurations in the United States. She even talks about the fashions, frills, and forgettable faux pax, including the lessons from the 2021 storming of the Capitol with the not-so-peaceful transfer of power. The most important thing we all need to remember about the presidential inauguration: whether it’s 1789 or 2025, whether it’s George Washington or Donald Trump, the inauguration is a reminder that in this country, democracy is the star of the show. It’s a moment of transition, a symbol of unity. Let’s hope January 20, 2025 is a great day for America.
