How Movies Connect Us to Our Feelings with Kevin Smith Fan and “You Are Good” Co-Host Alex Steed
What do movies teach us about our feelings and values? On this episode of Fandom Made Me, host Sabrina Cartan is joined by Alex Steed, co-host of the popular movie podcast “You Are Good.” Alex geeks out about being a Kevin Smith fan as a teen in the 90s, how movies like <em>Clerks </em>and <em>Chasing Amy </em>relate to labor rights and the growing anti-work movement, and how early 90s message boards were a hotbed for early fan activism. Plus, a side rant about what <em>Stranger Things </em>gets wrong about 80s nostalgia (even though we love it). <br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Can We All Be Philanthropists? with Mariah Carey Fan Amy Schiller
<p>We are so back! On the season 2 premiere of Fandom Made Me, Sabrina Cartan talks about fixing philanthropy with Amy Schiller, author of <em>The Price of Humanity: How Philanthropy Went Wrong–and How to Fix It</em>. Known on the Internet for her pop culture takes such as “<a href="https://www.kveller.com/meet-the-jewish-woman-behind-beyonceder/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Beyonceder</a>” and a viral <em>Atlantic </em><a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/sexes/archive/2013/04/american-girls-arent-radical-anymore/275199/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">essay</a> on American Girl dolls, Amy answers some of our most pressing questions, namely, why don’t average and working class Americans consider themselves philanthropists? Together, they delve into the little-known history of working class philanthropy and how small dollar donations funded the Statue of Liberty, ensuring the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, and how a “giving wage” can change the way we live. A devoted Mariah Carey fan, Amy proposes a special Christmas-themed philanthropy project for Her Majesty, the Queen of Pop. </p><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
