There is nothing we hate more than bullies (except for maybe polka dots and scrunchies), which is why for our next episode we're planning to address the issue of bullying. It seems in this day and age, bullying is all over the news and T.V. and we've decided to bring it to online radio as well. Right now we're just in the early stages of planning the episode, which means we are mainly still drinking coffee and complimenting each other on our outfits in meetings instead of making real headway, but we do have a pretty good idea of where we want to take this show.
We've been trying out some fun things with bringing new elements to the show. Several episodes back we interviewed somebody on the air about fitness and diet. For this show, we'd really like to find somebody who has recently been in the news because they were bullied and interview them on the air. It's something new for us and a direction we'd like to go in. I mean, it's not that we would ever get sick of the sounds of our own voices but we really think our listeners might be ready for us to take it up a notch.
What are we hoping to achieve with this show on bullying? Well, we would like to make it more socially acceptable for people to step up and admit they've been bullied or are being bullied. It's something that probably happens to a lot of people but that most people don't want to talk about. We also want to explore how bullying is handled by parents and teachers, what leads to bullying, how to prevent/stop it, and how to help those that are victims of bullying. While we're at it we just may try to solve the mystery of who killed JFK & achieve world peace. Depends on how fast the half hour show goes by.
And now--busy, busy, busy!!!
