The year was 2016. The place: River Hill High’s graduation ceremony. This is the setting of the last time Jake laid his adolescent eyes on Molly Hennessy and realized that it would be his final chance to accomplish his long-time goal of asking her out. He failed to do so that day. Now, Jake will attempt to do just that by searching for a way to connect and perhaps even make it with his “one that got away.” And so, in an effort to bring this matter of the past to rest, we thought to seek some insight into the future. We met with a local psychic here in Manhattan, hoping she’d be able to provide Jake with some reassurance and advice for the near future.

In this episode, two millennials with polar-opposite views discuss their reasons behind their voting choices and how difficult it is to navigate information in a polarized society.
