GBA 291 - Andrew
from Getting Better Acquainted · host Dave Pickering
In GBA 291 we get better acquainted with Andrew. We talk about history, culture, politics, education, learning to understand your privilege, the history of genocide and ethnic cleansing, who Belle should have ended up with at the end of Beauty and the Beast, being conscious of language and word choices, Power Rangers, the influence of fear on cultural development, why I hate the Lego Batman movie and lots of other things. Content note: Mention of genocide, rape, slavery, war, domestic violence, suicide, child abuse, and other forms of violence, all of which are discussed within a broader analysis of history, politics and culture, with no descriptions or personal anecdotes.
