In this episode, one of my favorite human beings on the planet and my former college professor, Dr. Jennifer Billinson, is here to discuss the dark side of social media, representation in media, and what the sometimes unhinged online fandom of Survivor can teach us as well as why the show itself should serve as a model for authentic disability representation.
