I don’t know about you, but it’s been a challenge for me to keep my emotions in check about this upcoming election—even around my child, who is apt to pick up on any strong sentiment I may have and share it with friends, neighbors, and classmates. Our kids might very well be looking around at us right now, thinking, “What in the hell is everyone so worked up about?” So if ever it’s been obvious that we need to teach our kids about the importance of elections and exercising your right to vote, it’s now. And the “Kid Correspondent” series is here to help.

The four-part series is on the SoulPancake YouTube channel and is a YouTube original series. The first two episodes were released on Friday, and the second two dropped today—just in time to get our kids caught up before everyone casts their vote in eight days (or earlier! Vote earlier if you can!). The first episode is all about how to make decisions, and it features celebrity guests Soledad O’Brien, Danielle Fishel, and Rainn Wilson:

The other episode topics are:

Each episode is just 10-15 minutes long and is hosted by a team of kid “news correspondents”—led by exceptional host, Riah—who make the topics fun and easily digestible for kids. Watch them together as a family so you can help put some of the things they’re seeing and hearing from the adults around them into context as we get closer to Election Day.

Apple will replace AirPods Pro for free with faulty noise cancellation, static or crackling

Today, exactly one year after Apple first launched the AirPods Pro — and thus the same day the very first AirPods Pro owners will see their one-year warranties expire — Apple has launched a repair program that offers free repairs or replacements for another whole year if your AirPods Pro experience issues with noise cancellation or static.

Specifically, Apple will fix:

Crackling or static sounds that increase in loud environments, with exercise or while talking on the phone

Active Noise Cancellation not working as expected, such as a loss of bass sound, or an increase in background sounds, such as street or airplane noise

Apple says only a “small percentage of AirPods Pro” are affected by the issues, but it apparently wasn’t just an early batch — Apple says affected units were manufactured “before October 2020,” meaning every AirPods Pro ever made might be eligible. That’s quite a recall if so. Apple says it will repair faulty AirPods Pro for two years after you first buy them.

We’ve heard complaints about degraded noise cancellation before, and at least one Verge editor has replaced their AirPods Pro under warranty. It’s nice to hear that Apple isn’t just cutting buyers off as soon as that warranty expires.
