What does it actually feel like to study media in a place built on attention?
This podcast isn’t a “how to go viral” guide.
It’s not about perfect strategies or polished answers either.
We’re two students at USC Annenberg, learning about content, influence, and visibility every day, while also quietly questioning all of it.
Why does everything feel like it needs to be seen?
Are we creating things, or just creating the idea of ourselves creating things?
And what happens when you start noticing how everything works… but still don’t know where you fit in?
Before the Spotlight is just us talking, about media, ambition, identity, and the weird in-between moments no one really posts about.
No pressure, no “takeaways.”
Just conversations, as they are.
