The producers behind iHeartRadio’s narrative podcast Dear Young Rocker are plotting to turn the series into a My So Called Life-style television series. Created by Chelsea Ursin, the podcast, which…
. “I kept thinking this needs to come out soon because this is the zeitgeist,” she added.
The project actually started as a memoir, written for Ursin’s MFA, rather than an audio series. Ursin then decided to turn it into a podcast, chopping down some of the chapters, and increasing the feature where she writes a letter from her adult self to her younger self. “Once I finished the memoir, I talked to some publishers and editors and everyone loved the story but said ‘the marketing people aren’t going to be on board because you’re not famous’. So that pissed me off and I didn’t want to self-publish because that’s cheesy so I found podcasting and realized I could put my stuff up for free and could incorporate the musical elements,” she said.
Music is key to the series. Boston-based Ursin is in a band called Banana and also volunteers as a mentor and bass teacher for the Girls Rock Camp. “I came of age in the early 2000s so everything on the radio didn’t really do it for me, it was nu-metal and Britney Spears. I really connected with grunge and The Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana and the Pixies but there weren’t that many kids that were into that near me. Eventually I found the other weirdo rockers,” she said.

Poll Finds Bloomberg Trailing Among Young Black Males He’s Already Thrown In PrisonHAMDEN, CT—Suggesting continued challenges in the former New York City mayor’s quest for the presidential nomination, a new poll conducted by Quinnipiac University found that Democratic candidate Michael Bloomberg was trailing his rivals among young black males he’s already thrown into prison. “Bloomberg is continuing to perform poorly among African American men who were between 16 and 25 years old when they were arrested for possession of marijuana during his tenure as mayor of New York,” said lead pollster Nadia Bresner, confirming that fewer than 2% of survey respondents who were still serving prison sentences as a result of stop-and-frisk policies named Bloomberg as one of their top three favorite candidates. “These numbers suggest that these individuals strongly connected to other candidates’ policies of not having them detained and incarcerated based on their race. It remains to be seen if Bloomberg can bridge the gap of minorities he allowed to be terrorized by the police with another multimillion-dollar TV ad buy.” Bresner added that not all the poll numbers were bad for Bloomberg, noting that he was still beating Pete Buttigieg among young black men the mayor of South Bend had thrown into prison.
