• Navigating Viral Fame (Chris Mowrey)
    Oct 18 2023

    On this episode of The Zennerational Perspective, I was joined by Chris Mowrey, a TikTok influencer known for posting political commentary from the perspective of a Biden supporter.


    But this episode is NOT political. Rather than delve into the political divide, Chris and I discuss his year-long rise in popularity, which resulted in him being on Fox News, going on The Tim Dillon Show, and more. Chris is very open about his mental health, and we discuss some of the ramifications that this popularity has had on him off of the screen.


    At the end of the day, Chris is a 21-year-old, navigating his final year in college, while posting content that he is genuinely passionate about.

  • The RESTRICT Act (TikTok Ban)
    Apr 19 2023
    In this week's episode, Bridget Harrington discusses The RESTRICT Act, one of Congress' latest attempts to ban TikTok. While we believe some form of regulation on the app is necessary, the way this bill addresses the issue leaves some scratching their heads. So, does this bill fix the problem, or is it the PATRIOT Act 2.0?
