TidePod Season 2, Episode 5: RM Students Talk Politics
The TidePod, which was started in early 2019, is currently in its sixth season. Graphic designed by Valerie Wang.
The TidePod is back for 2020! The fifth episode of season 2 was originally comprised of an interview with four students of different ideologies about their political beliefs. These four students were contacted based on a political demographics survey put out by the Tide in the fall of 2019 as well as their interest in being interviewed. This survey was meant to gather a representative glimpse of Richard Montgomery students’ political beliefs and involvement, however, we only had 348 responses. Unfortunately, the TidePod had issues with the original audio of this episode that resulted in the intended recording being unpublishable.
Instead, the TidePod interviewed three Tide editors and Advanced Journalism students to give audiences an inside look into the making of the political survey and an analysis of the results. These editors have a unique perspective on the survey as they contributed to making and sending it out to RM students. In this episode, you will hear from these editors about the questions, results, and demographics of this survey.
