In 1998 Population Media Center (https://www.populationmedia.org/) (PMC) was formed to ‘make the stories that remake our world'. 25 years later, radio and TV shows, supported by PMC, have been heard throughout the world, including Ethiopia, Senegal and Papua New Guinea. Produced in collaboration with local communities and local scriptwriters, these shows share a common thread in that the audience are invited to consider positive family planning decisions through the role modelling of engaging and identifiable characters. PGAP was very fortunate to be joined by special guest Bill Ryerson (https://www.populationmedia.org/people/william-ryerson-mphil), President and Founder of PMC. He talks us through the ‘stories behind the stories' of PMC's many award winning and popular projects. PGAP would like to give a shout out to Paul Winter (https://paulwinter.bandcamp.com/?src=email_link2), who is not only on the program advisory board at PMC, but is also a Grammy winning saxophonist, whose music is inspired by the cultures and creatures of planet Earth. He kindly shared the track ‘Talkabout' for this episode of PGAP, which we played an extract from after Bill's interview. We would also like to give a shout-out to Cody Peluso (https://www.populationmedia.org/people/cody-peluso), Digital Advocacy & Mobilization Manager at PMC, without whom this episode would not have been possible. PGAP co-host Michael Bayliss interviewed Cody for a recent edition of the Sustainable Population Australia (SPA) newsletter (https://population.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Feb-SPA-150.pdf). SPA kindly supports PGAP and we encourage you to consider giving SPA a donation (https://population.org.au/donate/) for their end of financial year donation appeal. PMC kindly provided an excerpt from the Hulu series ‘East Los High', courtesy of Hulu, that we played at the start of this episode. A trailer for the series can be viewed on YouTube here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQnXknnCdoc). We hope you will join PMC in celebrating their 25th anniversary. There are many events lined up, including their Zoom birthday party, held on Zoom on the 15th of June, which you can RSVP here (https://populationmedia-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZckcuqqqDksH9dPOk5QqBmQ4yFufDT1JSrT?utm_medium=email&_hsmi=261340862&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8c1MKvoihjFYez5RIgNY_e-JAtwz6TP64-Ys4QfmPdlSm9KYSyTPnirf5azcmoTzXyM8yxJdhMwYN2gRhEPjTuAbbfEdaZpU0ceUn6A-Hvm1U9E6U&utm_content=261210068&utm_source=hs_email#/registration). Unfortunately for Australian listeners, this is well after midnight for us so perhaps one for the night owls. Otherwise you can keep track of PMC's activities on their website here (https://www.populationmedia.org/). Otherwise, please check out PMC's award winning podcast, Crossing the Line (https://ctlpod.com/). Excellent stuff. While PMC celebrate their 25th anniversary, PGAP will be taking a very short break. This is the last episode of season 4 of Post-Growth Australia Podcast. We made some changes to the format of this podcast, including welcoming co-host Mark Allen. The experiment has worked in our favour, with record number of listens in April and May.

Cinematographer Kira Kelly had years of experience before director Ava DuVernay approached her to shoot her documentary, 13th. For 13th, DuVernay was interested in creating artful, composed shots rather than the typical “talking heads” of most documentaries, and pushed Kira and the team to get creative about how it was framed. The film examines the 13th Amendment, which outlawed slavery, yet the mass incarceration of African-Americans continues to this day as its own kind of slavery. 13th was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 2017. Kira collaborated with DuVernay again on the second season of the critically-acclaimed series, Queen Sugar. When she was first starting out, Kira worked as a gaffer before moving into the camera department and establishing herself as a cinematographer, shooting a small independent film called Were the World Mine. Producer/director Carlos Portugal noticed her work and hired her to shoot four seasons of Hulu's Emmy-nominated series, East Los High. Kira Kelly's latest show is a limited series for Netflix called Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madame C.J. Walker, starring Octavia Spencer. The series is based on the real-life story of an African American washerwoman who builds a hair product empire to become the first female self-made millionaire. Self-Made is on Netflix beginning March 20. https://www.netflix.com/title/80202462 Find out even more about this episode, with extensive show notes and links: http://camnoir.com/ep67/ LIKE AND FOLLOW US, send fan mail or suggestions!

Colin talks to Jeff Yang, an American writer, journalist, and business/media consultant who has written for The Wall Street Journal and CNN, and, Mauricio Mota, a producer of East Los High, an award-winning [Hulu] drama series that has earned five Emmy nominations for its realistic portrayal of Latinx high school students. We talk about the gatekeeping responsibility and power of the few critics of color when they are critiquing media coming from their own communities: They can break or make a show or movie. We [also] discuss their importance for unpacking the cultural context and nuance of movies such as Crazy Rich Asians and Coco [within their fan community and for those encountering these more inclusive representations for the first time]. We also discuss how globalization should, and can, [work in unexpected ways]: Coco did very well in China, for example. But, how do we move forward? “Everyone can be a critic” says Mota, but for a long time “we were not allowed to have taste in this town”.

In this special episode of #MediaSnack Tom is joined by Bill Ryerson, founder and president of Population Media Center. Population Media Canter is a non-profit organisation that uses media to change lives of people around the world. It works to educate people about health, social norms and environment by creating entertaining serial dramas. It works to change social norms on key issues related to women’s rights and reproductive health by creating long-running series featuring characters that evolve into role models for the watching audience. In African countries, where radio is the most consumed media, PMC works with local production companies to create relevant radio dramas. Listeners are getting so emotionally attached to these series that they even naming their children after the main characters. This shows a significant power of this initiative and proves that partnership with PMC gives a great opportunity for brands. In this exclusive interview Bill shares some impressive statistics from PMC’s Ethiopian project that was aiming to change attitudes of population towards HIV testing and family planning and attracted 46% of Ethiopian population as regular listeners. The married women who were listening to the series dramatically increased reported use of family planning products from 14% to 40% by the end of the program. PMC also creates TV dramas and in the US “East Los high” remains in the top five on Hulu for all four seasons and is now on season five. East Los High targets Hispanic teenagers and educates them about teen pregnancy, obesity and many other issues. Online data shows that viewers of East Los High were increasing their visits to reproductive health and other health service websites. Many years ago soap production companies used to funding “soap operas” to increase their sales, now PMC works with brands and individual donors to create stories that are changing lives around the world. ID Comms partnered up with PMC in 2016 and to find out how you or your company can contribute to the great work that PMC does please ask ID Comms for an introduction.

On this week’s #MediaSnack we consider what a challenging year its been for the global media industry and devote our Christmas episode to sharing with you the amazing story of Population Media Center (PMC), an NGO that we work with at ID Comms. We think PMC is a truly amazing organisation, leveraging the power of media to tackle some of the world’s most acute challenges, improving education and rights for woman and girls, empowering them with family planning which reduces the impact of population growth and thereby the impact and strain on the environment. PMC creates TV and radio shows, serialized dramas, that embed positive role models into prime time entertainment to drive behavioural and societal change. By thorough pre-post testing, PMC has been able to demonstrate to governments around the world how effective their programmes are when compared with traditional public-service communications. PMC are showing the world (and marketers) what true effectiveness means for media investment and how compelling content changes minds and changes lives. The goal of the partnership with ID Comms is to help PMC, which was founded in 1998, reach more people around the world. ID Comms will provide marketing advice, training and brand introductions for PMC, dedicating more than 40-days of employee time for the first year of the initiatives. The partnership will bring together ID Comms’ expertise, connections and understanding of the media landscape with PMC’s skill at creating compelling entertainment that inspires behavioural change. “We are very excited to be working with Population Media Center, which is making a real difference in the lives of women and girls in some of the most hard-to-reach communities across the globe,” said Tom Denford, Co-Founder of ID Comms. “The way PMC tackles these behavioural issues through media exposure is really easy for us to get excited about. The team at ID Comms act as trusted advisors to some of the world's leading brands, helping them compete in a fast-changing media landscape. We are therefore hugely excited to be supporting PMC’s incredible work, applying the same knowledge and skills to drive real change in the world through media. ” “We are delighted to be working with the team at ID Comms to help us analyse new markets and connect with more of the world’s major brands,” said Bill Ryerson, Founder and President of Population Media Center. “There is no more cost-effective use of charitable dollars than in preventing unplanned and unwanted births and reducing birth rates worldwide through information and empowerment,” said Ryerson. “The work of PMC is helping empower women and girls and prevent the needless suffering of millions of people. ID Comms is helping us expand this work. With their help, we’re going to reach more people, which is desperately needed.” Population Media Center is a nonprofit leader in entertainment-education dedicated to women’s rights and empowerment, population stabilization, and the environment. For the past two decades, PMC’s entertainment programming has promoted social and cultural change and has helped 500 million people in more than 50 countries.PMC’s efforts span the globe, continually targeting underserved audiences. The East Los High TV Series in the United States, broadcast via Hulu, resulted in almost 30,000 people using the Planned Parenthood widgets on eastloshigh.com in the first month of broadcast. Via this widget they were able to determine their risk for sexually transmitted diseases or pregnancy, and 76% of viewers who accessed resources on East Los High’s website also shared those resources with friends.
