Amanda Lamb, one of the longest-serving reporters at WRAL, recently left her role in Jan 2024 to host a podcast Ageless: Opening Doors with Amanda Lamb which is about women redefining themselves after 50. In this episode, we talk about the art of media, podcasting, and reporting. The art of storytelling is essential in the fields of reporting and business alike - Amanda gives a guideline for how to tell a story whilst grabbing and maintaining attention. We also discuss the future landscape of the media with an increase in polarization and a rise in independent journalism with the continued use of social media and short-form content. Amanda shares her ideas for how to break through in a saturated landscape & how to break into the industry. During her time at WRAL Amanda specialised in crime reporting and Hurricanes. From 2019-2024 Amanda was a writer, host & producer for 4 podcasts. Notably "Follow the Truth" which was a 15-episode true crime series about the re-investigation of the 1993 murder of Michael Jordan's father. Amanda has written and published 12+ books.
Personable is a podcast dedicated to helping listeners become the best they can be by learning from the world’s best in their respective fields. This mission is inspired by my mother, Louise, who encouraged me to become the best version of myself before she passed away from cancer in 2023.
