About Us

Who We Are

Beyond All Headlines is a student-run global politics podcast that cuts through the noise to bring you thoughtful, in-depth analysis of the stories shaping our world. Hosted by Luke Meydenbauer, Jacob Nickerson, and edited by Lenny Remus, each episode goes beyond surface-level news to unpack global politics, international law, human rights, and ideological debates—grounded in rigorous sourcing and multiple perspectives. Whether we’re breaking down the latest headlines or exploring the theory behind world events, our goal is to help listeners stay informed, stay critical, and go beyond what they see and hear.

Our Mission

Beyond All Headlines is dedicated to delivering in-depth, multi-perspective conversations about the world's most pressing current events. Through expert guest insights and thoughtful discussions, we empower listeners — especially students — to move beyond surface-level reporting and explore the full complexity of today’s global issues.

Our Vision

We envision a world where critical thinking and open dialogue replace echo chambers and bias, inspiring the next generation to seek truth through understanding diverse perspectives.
