Props with Pop

Welcome back to Props with Pop! Sorry it’s been a minute, the holiday season is here already. We wanted to share this episode Pops and I recorded a few weeks back, it’s all about Public Perception & The Media. We cover topics such as how much is too much when it comes to warning the general public about threats, specifically natural disasters? 

Additionally, we cover:

• Stats behind Hurricane Helene by The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Hurricane Center
• The sad reality that including more negative words in media news headlines increases the digital engagement 
• The definition of Media Fatigue - is what happens when people get so much information, especially repetitive or emotionally heavy news—they mentally check out or avoid it entirely i.e. Hurricane Katina fatigue 
• The fine line between reporting accurately and ensuring as much safety to the public as possible

It’s an interesting conversation and I’m curious if anyone has resonated with this before, we encourage you to write to us at [email protected].

This special episode was recorded live at Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park. Becs & Pops welcome a special guest, Alec (Bec’s fiancé). The family camped at Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park during a long weekend in spring and recorded their experience. Alec brought his state of the art telescope and the three of them had a blast stargazing. They talked about the moon, Jupiter, nebulas, star clusters, and even saw other galaxies far, far away. Tune in this week for this very special episode.
