What's the audience for Anything Goes?
For my podcast this week I watched Emma Chamberlain's Anything Goes episode Never Say Never. I feel that her audience for most of her episodes are young adult or teen women. She herself is quite young and she seems to understand quite well the things her audience cares about and wants to hear. Her podcasts offer a level of reflection that I think she knows her audience would highly benefit from. In this episode she looked at her progression into fame and how she never expected to be where she is now. Typically this would come off as a ploy to seem humble and grateful but she instead focuses on how keeping an open mind, saying yes, having values, and going after the things you wan =t in life could truly make a difference. I think a lot of Emma Chamberlins listeners buy into her content and as the audience is composed of younger girls I think the message of self investment and confidence is really important. Women often feel they must always be calm, docile, roll with the punches, etc but Emma, with awareness of these social constructions, shows how much more can be gleaned from life if you actively work for it rather than be passive in your happiness or success which I feel is really cool.
