05.17.18 Lies We Tell
Radio Uprising
Building out of games we play, the youth producers get into discussing lies we tell with Mary Ellen this week. DJs Viv-and-let-Viv, Matt, Jada, and YungFxy define lies as things that aren't true and then shift their definition as they talk about the fact that books and movies are fiction, but aren't always lies. The conversation goes from encountering lies in person to digital deceit and manipulative historical lies that have had lasting repercussions.
info_outlineDuring this special pledge week show, the youth producers start by talking about the value of independent radio! After the intro, the youth producers discuss whether or not they conform to "social norms" and the meaning of the phrase itself. The conversation then moves onto the pressures put on different people by different social norms, and how changeable those norms really are. Whereas someone may conform perfectly to norms in one place, they might completely non-conform in a different setting or time period. For example, it might have been "cool" to wear sketchers or light-up shoes 15 years ago, but those same shoes might be seen as tacky today. Weird, right?! Or, depending on the setting, having a thick Jamaican accent might be totally inside or outside the norm. After agreeing that strict social norms can be dangerous and lead to bullying, the youth producers commit to breaking and outing tired, oppressive societal standards!
