In this episode, Mahon talks with former state demographer Tom Gillaspy about how civically engaged millennials are.

The perception, in voting, volunteering, political activity and religion, is they're not engaged.

In some cases that's true, but not always, and the way they engage is often different. So is the time commitment they make to their engagement.

Mahon and Gillaspy try to clarify the perception versus reality, and also discuss what issues millennials really care about.
