Welcome to our new podcast, The Ask, where we focus on turning questions into action. On our first episode, Jasmine and Yochi sit down with TikTok superstar V Spehar, a former caterer whose news-focused posts reach nearly 3 million people, about why huge numbers of young Americans are turning to TikTok for their news, why conservatives trust a self-described "purple haired lesbian" more than the mainstream media, and why progressives should do everything they can to prevent the government from banning TikTok.
