The Media School at Indiana University prepares students for careers in journalism, cinema, broadcast, game design, and other forms of 21st-century communication.
In the school’s latest podcast, “I’m No Expert,” we sit down with Media School faculty to discuss their area of expertise. Not an expert in media research? Good! Neither is our host, undergrad student Avi Forrest. This podcast allows any listener to better understand the media’s impact on the social, physical, and psychological aspects of our lives.
Each episode will feature a different topic and guest, so follow us to hear new episodes released every month!
