In today's episode I interview Femi Oluwole! Femi is a British political activist and one of the most prominent voices in the anti-Brexit movement. He co-founded the group Our Future Our Choice (OFOC) which aims to mobilise young people against Brexit by advocating for a second referendum on the UK's membership in the European Union.

He's also a unique individual in that he straddles both traditional and social media in spreading awareness about Brexit, as well as conducting debates. I really enjoyed this interview and hope you will too!
