This Is Your Brain on TV

This Is Your Brain on TV is the podcast for serious people who love unserious television. Each week, hosts Taija Mars McDougall, a professor, and Jake Flanagin, an attorney and writer, discuss some of the most-talked about (and at other times obscure) reality TV shows on the airwaves — from housewives to hot dummies on an island. Think of them as the Jane Goodall and Margaret Mead of the trash content ecosystem, always thinking about the ways these ridiculous shows teach us about real-world social issues, subcultures, politics, economics, philosophy, religion, even ourselves! Lowbrow might be higher than you think.Instagram: @urbrainontvEmail: urbtainontv@gmail.com
