Podcast/Radio Work
I pitched, interviewed, wrote, recorded, and edited these two pieces for a class at LMU. These projects gave me significant hours working with an audio editing platform and allowed me to exercise my passion of connecting with others through their choice of words and helping them tell their stories to a broad audience.
The following is a long-form podcast episode on being an active witness. I built the interview questions around the story of George Holliday, the man who filmed Rodney King’s beating by LAPD officers. The first interviewee is Najee Ali, a civil rights activist and community organizer based in Los Angeles. The second interviewee is a college student who participated in protests in downtown Seattle immediately following the murder of George Floyd.
The following is a radio piece on the Sigma Nu fraternity drugging and sexual assault allegations at USC. I guided the interviews by the specific Sigma Nu case and a general dialogue around fraternity culture and sexual assault in America. Interviewees include two female USC students, one of which is a former sorority member and the other was one of the main student organizers of protests outside of the Sigma Nu house. The third interviewee is Shiwali Patel, an attorney at the National Women’s Law Center and their Director of Justice for Student Survivors & Senior Counsel.
