Moving Forward: America's Gluttonoy, Youth Entrepreneurs, Bribing Liberty, Britain Illegal Tobacco

This week on Moving Forward, the Young Voices radio show, we hear from contributors Maggie Anders, Brayden Myers, Mike Fox, and Ted Newson. Broadcast aired on Tuesday, August 19th, 2025.

America's addiction to eating has taken a curious turn toward conspicuous consumption. Maggie Anders explains why Americans are hungry and gluttony is on the menu.

Regulatory burdens can discourage young people from engaging in entrepreneurial pursuits. Brayden Myers says, America's youth should be free to innovate without barriers.

Prosecutors who offer freedom in return for cooperation aren't doing society the favor they say they are. Mike Fox explains why making liberty a bribe comes at a price to authentic justice.

Hiking taxes on tobacco hasn't exactly diminished public demand for cigarettes in Britain. Ted Newson says Britain's illegal tobacco problem is getting out of control.
