While browsing through Spotify in search of podcasts that might fit my topic, I came across a teenage girl called Tilly who tells stories under the podcast name “Ugly”. She talks about different areas of her life, including her interests as well as typical teenage problems and thoughts. She would like to be the person for others that she wished she had 2 years ago. Someone who can relate to her problems and mental health issues. What I find exciting for my work is being able to look a little deeper into the mind of a teenager and understand their world better. It is important for me to understand my target group as good as possible and to be able to shed light on all their needs, wishes, desires, fears and problems. I think that not only simple questionnaires help, but that stories from life can add a lot of quality to the analysis. Podcasts like this may also help me to create suitable questions for interviews, as I already have an insight into the minds of these young people.
