There has been an undeniable surge in activism recently, with topics ranging from climate change to black lives. These issues are not new, so the question becomes: why does everyone care so much now? This brings up the subject of performative activism, when actions are taken for societal gain rather than for genuine support of a cause. While working on this podcast, I realized how common performative activism is in our world today. I think I could have consolidated my interviews a bit more, as they are sort of lengthy. However, I kept them as long as they are because I thought the points made in my interviews were important and essential to the plotline of my story. I think I managed my time on this podcast better than I ever have on a story before. I had my research, interviews, and most of my VO done by the first week, and had a solid draft by the end of the second week, so I only had a few minor revisions to complete during the third week of our cycle.
