What’d They Say?!
What’d They Say?! is the Ohio Youth Congress’ podcast designed for teens and young adults navigating today’s world. Each episode explores the issues that actually matter — culture and society, education and self-improvement, and the real-life challenges young people face.
We also dive into government and civic life, helping listeners understand why it’s important to know what you believe and how to take action.
Through open conversations and special guests — from credentialed experts to peers who’ve lived the experience — we break big topics down into honest, practical insights. Listeners walk away with fresh perspectives, new tools, and inspiration to grow as leaders and as people.

Stephen and Charles bring in Hannah, Sarah, Phinehas, and Izak for a fun twist this episode. We're throwing slang and brainrot at special guest Beth Brown to see if she can keep up. Some words she nails, some leave her completely lost.
Along the way, the group ends up learning a thing or two about the words they use every day without really thinking about what they mean. It's a lighthearted generational back-and-forth that ends up being more insightful than expected.This project is supported by funding from SRAE TC (90SR0192) and ODH (03560022SR0126).The views, opinions, and personal experiences shared in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests only and do not necessarily reflect the official policies or positions of the grantors or associated organizations.
