Gen Z NYC On-Camera Interviews-Holiday Financial Struggles

Journalist here - trying to understand Gen Z's holiday financial reality beyond the statistics I'm a student journalist - can provide email verification- working on a story about how Gen Z is navigating what appears to be an unprecedented economic squeeze this holiday season, and I'm hoping to hear real stories from this community. The numbers I'm seeing: Gen Z cutting holiday spending by 23% (biggest drop of any generation) Seasonal retail hiring down from 442,000 positions last year to 265,000-365,000 this year - worst in 15+ years Layoff announcements up 183% in October 84% of Americans planning to cut spending due to economic uncertainty But statistics don't tell the full story. I want to understand what this actually looks like in people's daily lives. What I'm hoping to learn: If you're Gen Z (roughly 18-28), what does your holiday budget actually look like this year compared to last year? Have you applied for seasonal jobs recently? What's that experience been like? How are you managing the gap between what you need to spend and what you have? What does "economic anxiety" actually feel like day-to-day? What specific decisions are you making? How are you handling conversations with family/friends about cutting back? I'm also interested in hearing from anyone working in retail management about hiring decisions this season. My goal: I'm creating a short video piece (90 seconds) that gives Gen Z a voice in this conversation. It would feature street-style interviews balanced with the business perspective from retail owners/managers. If you're in NYC and open to a brief on-camera interview about your experience, I'd love to talk, we can do it virtually as well. If you're not comfortable on camera but willing to share your story to help me understand the landscape better, that's valuable too. I'm not here to exploit anyone's struggle - I genuinely want to document what this generation is going through in a way that's honest and respectful. Happy to answer any questions about the project. You can comment here or DM me.

Prop Masters on North American Specialty Prop Money Practices

Prop Masters: Some questions about working with specialty prop money Hi all! I'm a film/TV script clearance researcher who writes for my company's industry newsletter. I’m gathering some information for an article about prop money and looking for Prop Masters to share some insight. Instead of a formal interview, I'd love to crowd source answers to some questions I have below. I’d really appreciate your input. Please feel free to answer any or all of the following (if you reply, please could you include your general years of experience?). Lastly, I’m mainly looking for answers in a North American context, but would still love to hear from anyone outside Canada/US. Questions: What paperwork or documentation do you need to keep when ordering or using prop money? Have regulations or vendor requirements changed noticeably over your career? If so, could you provide an example? How do you handle prop money after wrap? Return it, destroy it, something else? Does using prop money affect your production insurance, or is it treated the same as any other prop? Thanks so much for the help! I'll be monitoring the thread and will reply when I can.

Hardware Startup Founders for Podcast on Challenges & Insights

Ex-SaaS CTO moving to Hardware. Looking to interview builders about the "messy middle." Hey fellow Redditors, I’m a software engineer (ex-CTO) who is transitioning into the physical product space. One thing I’ve noticed immediately is the lack of structured, "no-bullshit" information on how to actually navigate the world of hardware—from ideation to sourcing and DFM to retail distribution. The Project: I am building a dedicated podcast and resource hub to document this journey and help new builders navigate the maze without burning cash on avoidable mistakes. The Ask: Before I publish a single piece of content, I want to ensure I am solving the right problems. I’m looking to speak with 5-7 founders who are currently in the trenches or have successfully shipped. I invite you to a 20-25 minutes Zoom call where I will ask things like: What was the most painful bottleneck in your process? What is the one resource or guide you wish existed when you started? Your feedback will help me build something that actually serves this community. Even one horror story or one bit of hard earned advice from you might save 10 other first-time hardware founders from the same expensive mistake. If you’re open to chatting, just comment “in” or DM me and I’ll send a scheduling link. Massive thanks in advance to everyone who decides to participate, this means A LOT! P.S. Bay Area founders: I value face-to-face insights. I’m happy to meet in person at your convenience, with lunch and / or coffee on me.

Trans Americans Needed for TDoR Reflections Story

How was your Trans Day of Remembrance? Hey all! Making this post to start a discussion about how everyone's TDoR was this year. I'm a trans independent journalist working on a story where I collect quotes from different trans Americans about what was on your mind during TDoR this year. I know it's been kind of an insane year for all of us, so I'm trying to share different thoughts that have been going through people's heads, whether you're mourning someone you love, afraid for the future, hopeful, or somewhere in between. I know the transmasc perspective is too often left out of our narratives, so I thought this would be a good place to post to make sure y'all are included. If you're interested in being included in the story, please shoot me a DM! I'll send you a link to my site so you can see the first part of the story I uploaded. This is the info I'm looking to publish if you'd like to be included, but no need to send me any of this before I verify who I am/my publication over DMs: Your first name Your gender identity (ie., transgender man, nonbinary person, Two-Spirit person, etc.) Please don't exclude yourself based on your label - if you identify as trans or gender-diverse, you're who I'm looking for. I'm exclusively seeking trans voices here with one exception - if you've recently lost a close trans loved one, you're welcome to offer a quote regardless of your own gender identity. The state (or US territory) you're currently living in 1-3 short sentences about how you felt this TDOR. What was on your mind? LGBT history? Someone you love? The laws in your state? Maybe you didn't care that much and was just thinking about what you wanted for dinner? You don't have to be stone-cold serious, flowery, or eloquent. Our community's not a monolith. Wishing everyone a meaningful TDoR.

Maine-Boston Work Commuters for Boston Globe Transportation Story

Boston Globe: Any Mainers Who Regularly Commute to Greater Boston for Work? Hi there — I'm the Globe's transportation reporter. We're working on a story about the difficult commutes folks have to make to Greater Boston from other parts of New England. If you live in Maine but work in or around Boston — because of affordability concerns, family, or other preferences —we'd love to hear your story. Feel free to share your thoughts in this thread, DM this Reddit account, or email us directly. Have a great weekend.
