Our take on The Competition podcast
Shima Oliaee, once a competitor herself, now takes us behind the scenes of one of America's most intense scholarship contests for teen girls in her new podcast, The Competition. With a rich background in storytelling that spans from Dolly Parton’s America to Pink Card, Oliaee explores into the dreams and challenges of young women today. This six-part series, follows seven ambitious teens through the ups and downs of the Distinguished Young Women program. Oliaee's personal connection and the raw, unfiltered experiences of these girls offer a unique glimpse into what it means to be a teen girl in America, striving for excellence under the spotlight. A compelling listen that mixes ambition, fellowship and the harsh realities of competition. The Competition is a society & culture podcast by Wondery.
