Welcome to a special Valentine’s Day episode with Sarah and Angela! This week, we kick it off by sharing our personal love languages before jumping into a game of red flag (or green flag?) or dealbreaker. Join us for a conversation all about what we look for or avoid when dating!

Join us this week for a nuanced discussion on how to make your resume stand out! Sarah and Angela give their takes on what works for highly experience-based fields — and how these resumes differ from your typical academics-focused resumes. The two contrast their very first resume with their most up-to-date, analyzing what they’ve learned and what they’ve changed.

Sarah worked two internships in science communication and social media at NASA, while Angela completed a six-month co-op reporting for The Boston Globe. The two college journalists share what they learned from these experiences, as well as what comes next for them as Sarah enters her final semester at Boston University and Angela progresses through her junior year.

Sarah and Angela are back for their final season of IIOIIR. This time, they'll focus on everything surrounding building your career as a young journalist. Join us for a season full of tips and discussions about how to succeed in this rapidly changing industry. 

Thanksgiving may be over, but it’s always a good time to remember what we’re grateful for. This week, Sarah and Angela share just a few of the things they appreciate most about their lives, especially when it comes to journalism. (And, stay tuned to hear Angela’s personal news about what she’ll be doing in the spring!)

Sarah and Angela skipped last week’s episode in honor of the burnout that plagues them like a college dorm-induced cold. But they did still record to lament about it while the pain was at its peak! So here’s that conversation. This episode was edited by Angela Yang.

Happy Halloween! Sarah and Angela constantly gush over how much they love journalism, but of course, it's not always so fun and exciting. This week, the pair point out some of the scariest parts of the job — from hearing your own voice on tape to communicating with editors who constantly type like they're mad at you (even though they're not).

This week, Sarah and Angela will walk you through getting that first internship in college. We cover how to create opportunities when there might be none on offer, and how to communicate with potential employers throughout the process. But what are tips without examples? At the end of the conversation, each cohost answers a common interview question as they would during their own job interviews. This episode was edited by Angela Yang.

This week, Sarah and Angela react to an Atlantic column by Arthur C. Brooks titled, "A profession is not a personality." The article feels like a much-needed callout of the workaholism ingrained in American culture, and the two recovering productivity addicts reflect on some of the points that hit them hardest.

Broadcast journalist McKenzie Allen-Charmley, who is Dena'ina Athabaskan from the Tribal Village of Eklutna, joins IIOIIR this week to share insights on what it's like serving as the sole newsroom representation of America's many Native communities. Oftentimes, it forces her to take on extra burdens to ensure accurate representation. Plus, is reporting to amplify marginalized voices advocacy journalism... or just plain responsible?

As Sarah and Angela continue to explore why prestige is so desirable, the two reflect on how their high school experiences shaped their initial attitudes toward college — causing them to place more value on certain name-brand universities, for example. How do toxic environments, societal expectations and self-centered assumptions contribute to the narrow-minded judgments we, and so many others, subconsciously made (or still make) about others?

This week, Sarah and Angela introspect on why it's so tempting for journalists to chase after prestige, as well as why society seems to place so much value on big names. What counts as humble-bragging, and is it intentional? Why does the journalism community list their entire resume in their Twitter bios? Do journalists put their careers on a pedestal? Join us on a deep dive into these topics and more. This episode was edited by Angela Yang.
