Title: Creative Brief

Date: February 12, 2023

  1. “The Secret Life of an American Politician” Podcast Release
  2. This podcast is a fun spin off of a Trivia Game Show and a way of seeing the life of a politician behind closed doors. With the recent conspiracy theories regarding the stolen election in Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, during this podcast, people will be able to see the other side of their politicians. This may also be a chance for people to laugh alongside their politicians and support them, not only for their political views, but also for their personalities. One political benefit for this podcast is the potential prevention of death threats.
  3. To humanize politicians by allowing normal citizens a window view into the lives of the people who run their nation. This podcast will also demonstrate a politician’s capability to remain calm under pressure during a hilarious trivia game show with two politicians and their chosen guests.
  4. The target audience is middle aged men, women, and non-binary people who are desiring to understand the objectives of either future/ current politicians or young people wanting to become more comfortable with politicians before voting. (3-5 audience type)

      1. Abe Lincoln’s Top Hat
      2. The Daily Wire | The Andrew Klavan Show
      3. Earwolf | Throwing Shade
