Episode 070. “We all have a part to play in these conversations that are going to be happening over the next however many years…  I think the hardest part is just figuring out what is my role to play in this discussion." ~Dion McGill

Let’s talk about Black voices thriving in podcast spaces. Let’s talk about the politics of personal opinion and professional expectation. Let’s talk about candor as an ingredient for responsive content strategy. Let’s talk about those cringe-worthy MySpace years.

OK, so maybe we’ll let that last one slide.

Dion McGill has a lot to say about all of the above. His show Off The Beaten Podcast plays like a love letter to Chicago, a city often maligned by news outlets, social media, and politicians.

Both home-grown narratives and national news are steeped in opinion, even when touted as unbiased. But is having a POV a bad thing?

For a content pivot to be successful, the shift has to address current social justice issues (or the pandemic… or the presidential election… or killer wasps…or… ) with genuine interest and thoughtfulness – understanding that early attempts to do so won’t be perfect.
