Social Media Influence

In the latest edition of Americanswers, we get down to basics at the start of Donald Trump’s first criminal trial.

Who are the jurors selected to decide Trump’s fate? Who protects them? And how are they being targeted online?

Today’s opening statements mark the first criminal trial against a president in US history, as Trump stands accused of trying to cover up hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels before he won the 2016 election.

We're rolling up our sleeves and taking a deep-dive into the turbulent world of sex education in today's episode. With insights right from the frontline of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality conference, we're tackling the shocking rise in rough sex, heavily influenced by internet pornography and social media. We share some staggering statistics and discuss these distressing trends with our esteemed guest, researcher Dr. Renee Rena Evans Paulson. She highlights the pivotal role of critical media literacy as a safeguard, stressing the need for open dialogues with young individuals about their digital consumption.

Switching gears, we shift focus to the importance of comprehensive sex education and its much-needed societal adoption. Remember GPT-3? We're exploring its potential footprint in sex education, celebrating some successful initiatives like Rhode Island's Department of Health's comprehensive sex ed app, and dissecting a study that reveals the overestimation of sexual health knowledge among college students. Our key takeaway? Comprehensive sex education is not just an option; it's a necessity to bridge the knowledge gap and promote safer sexual behaviors. Join us as we champion the power of research evidence and its crucial role in advocating for comprehensive sex education to policymakers. Tune in, get informed, and help us rewrite the narrative.

Influencers often inspire or guide the actions of others by posting about something (such as a consumer product or service) that they use or endorse based on brand partnerships. And today's episode is a sure shot response to Sue Duffield's recent "Effector" award of Top Influencer, but what she initially read was "Influenza!"

The most all-inclusive definition of an influencer is a person who has the ability to influence others. So, a politician making a speech, a business expert leading a seminar, and a celebrity endorsing a product are all technically influencers, and yes even pastors, singers and keynote speakers.

An infectious personality, like Sue, may know a lot, but an individual still needs the ability to advocate, sell and drum up enthusiasm. Influencers normally have high engagement rates with their audience (in person or on-line), taking on a hands-on approach with their people, showing great care, and always looking to serve their needs to better understand them.

So, just how important is it to be an effective influencer for the Kingdom's sake? Everything. Let Jesus shine SO much in your life that you're infectious and that you get reports of your influence - from all generations.

This week Jason is joined by the OG Reality TV data analyst and founder of Bachelor Data, Suzana Somers!   

In January 2022, Suzana shared all about how she developed an extremely detailed system that tracked data of various facets of the Bachelor franchise from the contestants, from time on screen to their Instagram follower count to their endeavors after the show. This time around Jason and Suzana dive into how the data has changed in just a year with recent reality shows, specifically Love is Blind. 

Suzana gives insight on what her turning point was for creating an entirely new business to expand into more reality TV shows, her take on the pros and cons of the errors during the live Love is Blind finale, how being on different networks can impact the longevity of potential growth, how other networks are better at curating their alumni, and how spilling tea tends to help follower growth. Suzana also reveals why she believes season 4 of Love is Blind is breaking so many different records, how having authentic and different people on Love is Blind sets the show up for success, how TikTok is impacting reality TV, how she tracks data for networks like Netflix, and when the Bachelor franchise tests potential changes. What sort of trends is she seeing with reality TV contestants on social media? Where does she see the future of reality TV contestants and their success on different social media platforms? Which contestants get the most followers? Which network is outpacing the Bachelor? 

Suzana reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!

A special counsel has been appointed to investigate President Joe Biden after aides found classified documents at his private office and home. The Americast team explains what we know so far, why this spells trouble for the president, and the comparisons between this story and the discovery of hundreds of classified documents at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.

President Biden has also been trying to get his immigration policy in order as his administration's approach faces criticism from both Republicans and Democrats. Cecilia Muñoz, a former political adviser to President Obama on immigration, helps the team get into the complexities of America's border politics.

And we investigate the self-styled true crime ‘investigators’ of TikTok, who are gripped by the case of four students murdered in Idaho. We speak to one of them about the dangers of the public getting involved in criminal cases.

Americast is presented by North America editor Sarah Smith, Today host Justin Webb, the BBC's social media and disinformation correspondent Marianna Spring, and North America correspondent Anthony Zurcher.
