Day Ones Podcast

This week on the Day Ones Podcast, we give our quick insight on Drake's new album Scorpion, as only we can. Then, we welcome TV One producer, Shakira Hedgpeth to Day Ones(15:35). We get into the beginning of her journey in media, including her work in radio, field research, sales, and ultimately her path to producing at TV One(20:39). We discuss her role as a producer (35:57), if her position affects how she consumes TV as a casual viewer (38:36), and if the streaming era plays into producing shows(41:00). Next she lets us know how we can better support women in media (43:40), she gives advice to underrepresented groups to break into her field(48:48) and we talk finding a voice in media (52:40). To close, she shares future goals(1:03:15) and gives a shoutout to her day ones (1:07:51). All this and a whole lot more! Follow Shakira: @bk_producher Hit us on IG: @dayonespodcast
