136: Parneille Walker.
In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde spoke with Parneille Walker, a longtime friend, and veteran of Hollywood's TV & film industry. The conversation started with a series of fun and insightful ice breakers, such as the first jobs on their resumes, how friends and family members would describe them, the most-used apps on their phones, their first-ever social media platforms, and more.
They also talked about the current state of the media landscape in general, and how social media is impacting several aspects of society, such as the way people now receive information; how news is now being disseminated, with journalists racing to be the first to break a story without necessarily fact-checking their sources; how casting, auditions and other hiring practices are increasingly being diluted in favor of follower counts rather than taking actual talent into consideration; some of the crazy things that teenagers do online these days; how social media constitutes a time-sink, and lots more.
