Fact and Science Fiction

This episode was recorded in front of a live audience at ClexaCon, the largest multifandom convention for LGBTQ women and allies. My guest host Michelle and I discuss the importance of women and LGBTQ representation in media; I break down an academic paper about the effects of media representation in the TV show The Fosters on queer and straight youth, and media theories that may explain it all! Then we top it off with an audience Q&A and tangents about Carmilla and The 100.Follow the podcast on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram @factandscifiCheck out more content on the Blog at factandscifi.blogspot.comThis episode was brought you by Audible.
