CW: stalking, sexual assault, transphobia, homophobia
Baby Reindeer is a show based on the real-life experiences of Richard Gadd. The show portrays a young man's struggle with his identity and relationships whilst being stalked by an older woman. In this episode, I talk about the characteristics of women who stalk, why men tend to underreport being stalked, as well as some of the other major themes in the show.

#89: Suicidal Ideation in Vanderpump Rules
CW: suicide, suicidal ideation
As Season 11 of VPR wraps up, I had to discuss the very odd way in which the show handled a cast member endorsing suicidal ideation during the season. Bravo has never been that good at handling topics related to mental health, so I guess I have to come in and do some clean up 😅
