Digital Media with Elisa Kreisinger

Air Dates: April 1-7, 2019

We live in a golden age of digital media content.  From pod-casts to blogs and online programs, there’s never been so much competition for the information consumer’s attention.  “Pop culture pirate,” Elisa Kreisinger brings humor and a mastery of pop culture to some of today’s most pressing issues.

Kreisinger is a writer, producer, and podcaster who sees digital media as a wonderfully accessible if financially-trying platform for storytelling.  Her podcast, Strong Opinions Loosely Held, explored issues like the #MeToo movement as well as whether audiences should stop watching films made by or starring performers whose off-screen behavior included sexual aggression. 

“Story in the Public Square” broadcasts each week on public television stations across the United States. A full listing of the national television distribution is available at this link.
