That one where we ingest reality television mindfully.
After spending the last few weeks working on and promoting her SXSW Panel Picker proposal, resting, reflecting, and getting tf organized, Adriana returns to the podcast mic to talk about several things that've been on her mind. In a recap of the weeks past, we'll talk current events and shed light on a few stories that affirm the lasting trauma of colonization and the importance on building community as a radical act of liberation (from the powers that be).
This week's topic of the week is about many of our favorite guilty pleasure: reality television. Adriana will aim to explore the reasons people watch (and enjoy) reality television, what reality television watching tells about personality, and some ways to practice mindfulness when it comes to watching this type of programming. We'll discuss voyeurism, and its psychological connection to those who enjoy reality shows, Festinger's Social Comparison Theory, and the similarities (and key differences) between people who do watch and those who don't.
In a short conversation about being mindful of the ways we judge others' journeys, the OG Says segment was inspired by the rare instance of coming across a thought-provoking meme. To close the episode and set the energetic tone for the week to come, Adriana intuitively chooses and reads a poem from one of her favorite books by Thich Nhat Hanh.
