Meet 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐆𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧—co-host of 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐆𝐚𝐲 𝐑𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐨 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐧 𝐖𝐌𝐍𝐅 88.5 FM, award-winning activist, and the literal reason The Skittle Squad Podcast exists. In this electrifying episode, the 24-year-old political science major proves that age is just a number when it comes to shaking up the status quo.

Chris’ story is a guidebook in turning obstacles into opportunities—whether he’s rallying listeners at 3 AM or calling out reps who won’t meet with 24-year-olds. For LGBTQ+ youth, aspiring broadcasters, or anyone who’s been told they’re "too young" to lead, this episode is your roadmap to unapologetic impact.
