Episode 7 features a special guest, Abigail J. Covington! With her passion for creating discourse about issues that affect underrepresented identities, and knowledge of all things Black in media, Abigail and Gaelyn’s text messages about #loveisblind sparked this week’s topic: the addictive and messy world of Reality TV! The group discusses the history and sub-genres of unscripted television. They dig into the complicated reality of being Black on reality television. And of course, we circled all the way back to the slap heard ‘round the world!
The NSTH team would like to acknowledge that this episode is being released a week late out of respect for the tragedy that was the shooting at Robb Elementary last week. Although this episode was recorded before the tragedy, we did not feel that promoting our new episode was the appropriate course of action. We send our thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families and urge our elected officials to make a change so that this never happens again.
We hope this episode brings some light into your day!
