Ask students to summarize key arguments, critique assumptions, or compare with academic literature. Hold small-group discussions or debates based on episode content. Pair listening with assigned readings to deepen understanding. Optionally, invite students to present reflections or propose extensions in policy memos or blog‑style op‑eds.
