In Part Two of our Gender and Media series, we explore how gender representation in media shapes the way we see ourselves and others. Why are women still only a third of podcasters? And what does that say about the stories we hear, the experts we trust, and the roles we expect people to play?

From cartoons and commercials to reality TV and news programming, media influences our beliefs, expectations, and understanding of who holds authority and whose stories are told. We discuss the impact of gender stereotypes, the messages we've been absorbing since childhood, and whether media is simply reflecting society, or actively shaping what we think is "normal."

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation about representation, bias, and how becoming more aware of the media we consume can help us challenge assumptions, broaden our perspectives, and better understand the world around us.
