<![CDATA[Hotspot University ]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/hotspot-university Hotspot University is a bold podcast about the generation that grew up with WiFi and the one that grew up watching it arrive. Millennials and Gen Z unpack the chaos of modern media, from Internet trends and online identity to education systems that feel outdated and industries that demand reinvention.

We talk culture without pretending everything is deep. We talk trends without pretending they don’t matter. We talk digital life without pretending it’s all healthy.

If you’re a creative, a student, a side hustler, a content junkie, or just someone trying to make sense of life online, this is your space. Less lectures. More truth. No filters.
