TikTok Nov 17, 2019

Show notes

#224: TikTok is a lot of fun, for all ages. We talk about what makes TikTok so appealing, why it matters, and some of our favorite videos. We love how people are taking complicated feelings and experiences and sharing them in a minute or less… and dancing ferrets.

Real-Life Sequels and Reboots Nov 10, 2019

Show notes

#223: If movies like Terminator: Dark Fate can pick up a thread from almost 30 years ago, why can’t we? On this episode we use sequels and reboots to talk about how we can decide which parts of our lives to revisit, continue, set aside, or reinvent.

Tabletop RPGs and Consent Sep 29, 2019

Show notes

#217: We look at consent in tabletop RPGs and how to create a safe environment. We look at parallels between tabletop RPGs and kink to find positive examples of informed consent. This conversation was sparked by a Facebook post by Ashley Gillespie-Horne and includes discussion of an RPG Consent Checklist created by Sean K. Reynolds and Shanna Germain.

Content warning: Sexual assault, rape, kink, BDSM, body horror.

Comfort Media Sep 22, 2019

Show notes

#216: Is there a tv show, book, or song you go back to often because it feels like the media equivalent of a warm blanket? That’s comfort media. The team looks at common themes in their own comfort media, why it’s so comfortable, and how we can use it to feel better.

13 Reasons Why – Season 3 Sep 20, 2019

Show notes

#215: Love it or hate it, many people watch 13 Reasons Why and it’s full of important themes and situations that our clients and students are talking about. The conversation starters on 13 Reasons Why are always worth exploring and this season brings up many new ones. Ultimately, the message of the show is that we can take better care of each other.

Fictional Role Models Sep 15, 2019

Show notes

#214: A fictional character can be as much of a role model as a real person. Unfortunately, we don’t all have easily accessible positive role models (and not nearly enough of them) so fictional role models play an important part in many of our lives. As long as we’re inspired to try harder, be better, and do good, does it matter if the inspiration came from a fictional character?

The Do-Over Metaphor Sep 08, 2019

Show notes

#213: It’s impossible to actually go back and do something over, but imagining what we’d do differently a second time can help prepare us for similar experiences in the future. Gamers understand the value of doing something again and again and learning from each experience. We cover some of our favorite do-over stories and games including the new X-Men comics, Groundhog Day, Edge of Tomorrow, Back to the Future, Rogue Legacy, Minit, and more.

We Need More Redemption Stories Sep 01, 2019

Show notes

#212: Redemption stories allow us to see that we can be better versions of ourselves and help us see the possibility of others moving past what they’ve done. Through multiple media examples, we discuss redemptions stories that affected us and some we think are important. We believe redemption stories can help a lot of people see the potential for good and growth in others because we don’t see those stories enough in our real lives. What are some of your favorite redemption stories?

Heroes in Crisis Aug 25, 2019

Show notes

#211: We take an in-depth look at DC Comics’ Heroes in Crisis event, a 9-issue murder mystery that deals with mental health issues and treatment. The story is full of relatable character interviews that serve as great conversation starters. We think this one matters and is definitely worth reading.
