A Jam packed show tonight with all the youthy goodness you could expect from your favourite breakfast cereal and radio show!
On tonight's show we spoke about;
The R U OK day:
A program designed to get us to check up with our friends, show we care, no matter how often you keep in contact with them! It's going down on the Wednesday 7 October, 2009 in Geelong, but we want everybody to get involved. Whether its a letter, an SMS, email or on Spacebook, it doesn't matter!
SAVE VCA!!
Shane Woon from 'The Petri Dish' (on right after Gen Next) came in to talk about the changes that are affecting the Victorian College of the Arts. The Melbourne university are trying to change the courses at the VCA and students aren't happy!

CITY VIOLENCE
Micah and Kyle talked about the recent issues of Violence in the CBD. An article came out during the week saying that almost half of the violence reported in the city came people residing in the western and northern suburbs. Spokesman Les Twentyman noted that there isn't enough funding or education in these areas. The government is being challenged to increase awareness of the effects of violence. Keep an eye out for updates on this, it will definitely be something that gets a lot of media coverage.
UNTIL NEXT WEEK, adios amigos!
DON'T FORGET, we're podcasting so you can carry us around in your pocket and relive ALL the amazing times we have here on Gen Next.
Love from Gen Next!
