Episode 10 - Ashley Bissette Sumerel

Published: Feb. 17, 2020, 5 a.m.

Hi all! Excited to be back with my our episode of 2020!

This week Boob Tube welcomes Ashley Bissette Sumerel, founder and editor-in-chief of Tell-Tale TV. At Tell-Tale, Ashley and her staff watch and review dozens of television episodes weekly. We had an opportunity to discuss the ways that our ever-evolving world impacts the way experience television.

How does something like #MeToo affect our perception of the stories being told? How do we reconcile loving television shows that were once our biggest sources of comfort but are now, through a more current lens, clearly problematic? 

Ashley and Tamar explore some of these questions and more on this week's episode. We'd love to hear your thoughts as well! Hop on over to twitter and join the discussion.
