Who are the risk takers that help reinvent and reimagine the kinds of stories we see on TV? And how do they disrupt what we’ve come to expect on our screens and in our culture? We Disrupt This Broadcast, the new podcast from The Peabody Awards and Center for Media & Social Impact, wants to answer these very questions. Produced and distributed in partnership with award-winning audio production group PRX, We Disrupt This Broadcast explores how the minds behind critically-acclaimed TV shows are re-imagining the world and tackling the big issues that move us forward. From intimate interviews with award-winning TV creatives to real talk with experts and social movement leaders, join us as we dive into the inner workings and cultural relevance of the shows that are changing all the rules and shaping our future.
We Disrupt This Broadcast is hosted by comedian Gabe González and features on-air contributions from Caty Borum, executive director of the Center for Media & Social Impact, Jeffrey P. Jones, executive director of The Peabody Awards, and comedian and actress Joyelle Nicole Johnson. In its first season, the podcast features conversations with TV showrunners like Abbott Elementary creator Quinta Brunson, Watchmen showrunner Damon Lindelof, and Ramy creator Ramy Youssef to explore how the most compelling TV shows and the creative powers behind them are upending the status quo — building new culture, community and, ultimately, power, for the very people who have been denied it in the past. Listen to We Disrupt This Broadcast – premiering April 11th and dropping on the second Thursday of every month. Available wherever you get your podcasts.
