Exciting News: I’m Now A Radio Show Host!
A few months ago I decided to head back to school. One of the extracurricular announcements came from the University’s radio station, in search of new shows and hosts. I’ve been in the blogging world since 2014, evolved to social media, and thought this could be a wonderful extension of the digital outlets I currently have. Thus, my show was born!
About My Radio Show, Freshly Brewed
Freshly Brewed is your weekly dose of activism, storytelling, and culture. Hosted by Macaila Britton, each episode brews fresh conversations about sustainability, civic engagement, and the cultural shifts shaping our world.
Listeners can expect a mix of coffee-shop intimacy from a Chicago perspective, with practical takeaways that make activism feel approachable. From unpacking fashion’s true cost to spotlighting everyday local changemakers, Freshly Brewed blends serious conversations with wit and playful commentary, leaving listeners energized, informed, inspired, and ready to take action…after their daily cup of coffee, of course.
Why I Started A Radio Show
I started a radio show because I want to reach people who want to make a difference in their community. I want people to hear my voice, listen to the episodes, and feel like they aren’t alone in wanting to make the world a better place.
Since the November 2024 US Presidential election, hope has felt minimal in the online spaces. Day after day there is catastrophic news littered across our screens. Memes capture the anxiety, dystopian parallels, and the desire for good to pierce through the darkness. My hope is that for an hour each week, my radio show will do just that.
If you’re looking for attainable ways to make a difference in your community, please tune in to my show!
