EPISODE 2, THE ONLY WOMAN IN THE ROOM

Women continue to face many hurdles in the music industry. In the recording
studio, women make up a tiny percentage of producers, songwriters, and
engineers. In this episode reporter Mariela Murdocco takes us behind the scenes
with an up-and-coming artist, a seasoned songwriter with certified hits under
her belt and other artists navigating this industry as women. Mariela also sits
down with grammy-nominated audio engineer and producer and Jeanne Montalvo to
talk about their personal histories and career paths in this male-nominated
industry.

In conversation with each other, journalists Maye Primera and Maritza L. Felix
discuss the hyper-local journalism projects they are part of in their
communities. Maye shares the experience of moving from Venezuela to San
Francisco’s Bay Area and the information and service El Tímpano provides. Led by
Maye, El Tímpano informs, engages, and amplifies the voices of the Bay Area’s
Latino and Mayan immigrants. Maritza delves into being born and raised on the
border and starting her own “news-you-can-use” platform, Conecta Arizona, to
keep border migrant communities informed on the issues that affect them the
most.

EPISODE 4, STORIES BEHIND NUMBERS 

Covering business might cause a reporter to break out in a cold sweat or their
eyes to glaze over. But not Jordyn Holman. She writes about business and the
retail industry for the New York Times. Her personal experience pushes her
coverage beyond the executive suites and into the lives of wage workers and the
communities where they live. In this episode, Jordyn and host Mónica Ortiz Uribe
delve into Jordyn’s experience as a Black journalist covering issues of race,
class, and gender in corporate America.
