Listen Here Efforts to legalize medical marijuana in Florida didn’t go very far this past legislative session. But the conversation about marijuana continues - from the political world to people’s living rooms. And one thing that often comes up is the question of addiction - is Marijuana addictive? Youth Radio’s Intern Deandre Benjamin explores this question. Listen Here There are a lot of mothers who raise kids on their own and many of them call themselves “single mothers.” But how might a dad feel about that term? Youth Radio’s Intern Diamond Russell brings us the story about her mom and dad and their relationship with “single motherhood.” Listen Here Miami is a place where people don’t wear a lot of clothes. But there’s a new trend that has little to do with the heat that is bearing women’s midriffs - crop tops. Youth Radio’s Intern Lajoy Eiflaar looks at how some people around her feel about the new trend. Listen Here WLRN Youth Radio Featured Stories.
