Hello, everyone. This podcast, created by Milagros, Eran, and me (Dorothy) called MED podcast, is a discussion of the article ‘The presentation of self in the online world’: Goffman and the study of online identities, diving deeper into why people create online identities and discussing our personal encounters on social media and our own posting habits. I hope you enjoy!

Very entertaining podcast!
You guys have a real talent when it comes to podcasting. The topic is also very thought provoking. I think having an online persona is okay, as I know that social media can be fake. However, for young impressionable kids on the internet it can get a little tricky. I also think that the medium is very important when expressing your personality. Real life is different from online and even different platforms can change the presentation of oneself. I might look very professional on Linkedin and very fun on Instagram. These apps have different uses and therefore my persona will be different.
P.S. Loved the intro song! 👏
