WHYY Radio Piece: My story, bullying

WHYY RADIO PIECE BULLYING FINAL  - 2:3:16, 11.58 AM
Hi my name is Amanda Thieu and I am currently a senior at Science Leadership Academy. I am honored to have the opportunity to produce a radio piece on a topic that I'm passionate about. Bullying has not only has gratefully impacted my life, but it has also changed me to become the person that I am today bully-free. I hope my story helps other people realize the damage that bullying causes. We need to stop this. It's traumatizing that it could happen to a younger generation. 

Sexualization of Women in the Media

My piece highlights the sexualization of women in the media and how women are portrayed across all platforms. Important questions regarding advertising and company campaigns are addressed, and touches on what the sexualization stems from. Additionally, Amal Giknis, a teacher of a course on feminism at Science Leadership Academy, shares her opinions about female representation and inequality, and why females are represented in such ways throughout the media.

Identity Without Words

My initial goals for this podcast consisted of me interviewing three females of different ages and races on my specific topic of identity. That didn't exactly happen. I ended up with one female as well as getting the perspective from my 19 year old brother. With me switching up my interviewees, I also had to switch up my approach. My new goal was to ask the both of them similar questions and compare/contrast their answers.

Working on this project was interesting. It was very tedious and time consuming. Interviewing was the easy part. The more difficult part was editing and switching up my entire podcast. Since I interviewed two people, that was two people to edit, trim, and create interesting content. I had to move so much around while editing since the two were interview at different times.
