America's Next Top Model Failed Us! - Bonus Episode (Part 1 of 3)

In this episode of the Bored & Overeducated Podcast, Dr. B (Dr. Abena Berry) and W (Wilson) unpack how America’s Next Top Model may have failed the very women it claimed to elevate.As we break down the new Reality Check documentary, we explore the problematic behaviors, power dynamics, and trauma that played out on screen — and what it meant for the contestants and for the culture watching at home. We also hold space for the complexity: the opportunities created, the visibility gained, and the uncomfortable truth that both harm and progress can exist at the same time.Through a psychological and cultural lens, we ask: What responsibility does reality TV have to the people it platforms? And what does it say about us that we normalized so much?As always, we bring insight, laughter, and real conversation — because you’re not just listening. You’re the third-best friend in the room.#BoredAndOvereducated#AmericasNextTopModel#RealityCheck#RealityTV#MediaCritique#TraumaAndCulture#PopCultureAnalysis#HumanBehavior#BestieCommunity
