Through Kids These Days, a collaboration with Community High School and Michigan Radio, I was able to explore the medium of podcasts and learn how to write for radio, while sharing stories about academic stress and perfectionism that I wasn't able to find anywhere else. Interviewing students and experts, I was able to share expert advice about the perils of constantly pitting our self-worth against others.
Listen to the episodes hereAfter the podcasts were published, Michigan Radio hired me as a social media intern to provide behind-the-scenes content and to create attention grabbing Instagram posts.
I'm excited to continue working with podcasts and live radio in the future and hope to work more with script writing and research. As a print journalist who has always had the power to select quotes and use my own words, it was exciting to learn how to use the uniqueness and pull of someone's voice and speaking style as a part of the story. |
