"Quiet on Set" documentary, who is Dan Schneider, and why did Nickelodeon protect him?!

from Mood for Feud · host Katja

Dan Schneider was one of Nickelodeon's most successful creators of tween tv, bringing us childhood classics in the early 2000s such as Drake & Josh, iCarly and Victorious. But behind the scenes of the bubbly and bright sets were horrific tales of abuse, manipulation and unsafe work practices. In this first part we take a look at how Dan Schneider built his Nickelodeon empire, the experiences of staff who worked for him, and uncover how his tyrannical leadership crafted an environment that enabled predatory behaviour towards children.F-k Nickelodeon and most importantly - let me know what you think!Instagram - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@moodforfeud⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@moodforfeud ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support the show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ko-fi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ all funds go towards upgrading my podcast gear!⁠⁠CW: child abuse, sexual harassment, verbal and emotional abuseTimestamps00:00 Intro06:34 Quiet on Set08:46 Dan Schneider joins Nickelodeon13:22 The Amanda Show21:28 Gender discrimination on set36:19 Amanda and Dan fallout40:31 Dan's sets were unsafe 47:22 Inappropriate 'jokes'Intro/Outro MusicYarWritten by Ryan SkeltonProduced by Ras & Sakunera#DanSchneider #QuietOnSet #QuietOnSetDocumentary #NickelodeonDrama #DanSchneiderExposed #QuietOnSetNetflix #iCarly #VicTorious #Drake&Josh #Zoey101 #TheAmandaShow #NickelodeonAbuse #DanSchneiderNickelodeon #DanSchneiderDocumentary#NickelodeonWorkplace #ChildActors #HollywoodAbuse #OnSetAbuse #NickelodeonControversy #ChildStars #HollywoodExposed #SetCulture #NickelodeonExposed #BehindTheScenes #ChildActorTrauma #HollywoodDarkSide #MeTooHollywood #PowerAbuse #ArianaGrande #AmandaBynes #JennetteMcCurdy #DrakeBell #JennetteMcCurdyBook #DrakeAndJosh #SamAndCat #VictoriousReunion #NickelodeonKids #ChildStarSurvivors #NickelodeonAlumni
