Real Housewives, Real Humanities - Jordan Rullo, Marcie Young Cancio, and Renato Olmedo-González

In this episode, we discuss the Tanner Humanities Center’s symposium—Receipts, Proof, Timeline: How We Watch The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City—with Jordan Rullo (Department of Psychology and therapist), Marcie Young Cancio (Department of Communication and founder of Amplify Utah), and Renato Olmedo-González (Salt Lake City Arts Council). They explore the underground sophistication of trash TV, toxic communication styles in relationships, and the power of uncomfortable laughter.  You can read more about our April 10 RHOSLC symposium on our website, the Salt Lake Tribune, the Daily Utah Chronicle, and KUER.  Episode image: Props table at the RHOSLC symposium, photo by Trish Griffee.  Episode edited by Ethan Rauschkolb.
