Welcome to Media in the Mix, the only podcast produced and hosted by the School of Communication at American University. Join us as we create a safe space to explore topics and communication at the intersection of social justice, tech, innovation & pop culture.

Today, we're joined by two SOC Student-Athletes, Deirdre Brown and Aidan Delehanty! Aidan is a junior majoring in journalism and political science at the School of Communication! Before coming to AU, he was a member of the National Honors Society, a High Honor Roll student with distinction and of course now, a D1 athlete at AU! He loves reading comic books, collecting sneakers, and collecting swim caps from all the different teams he's swam against.

Deirdre Brown is a freshman starting her first year at AU as a D1 Lacrosse player! Before coming to AU, she was a member of the NSPA/JEA Quill and Scroll National Journalism Honors Society, was also DCL All-Star and All-Conference in both field hockey and swimming. She is also an ambassador for Morgan’s Message and co-founded a non-profit lip balm company called ‘Lip Bomb’ in 2023 from which all proceeds go toward Morgan’s Message. She is just starting her Communications journey at American!
