grief support group #22 💌 on grief literacy and what makes a good reality TV fight

Welcome to the 💌💗GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP🪩🍒‼️. This is my radio show on KSFS Radio at San Francisco State where I talk all things pop culture, my research on grief and media, and answer your advice questions.

This week I discuss my presentation at the Popular Culture Association conference, Justin Bieber’s Coachella performance, rejecting the concepts of “content” and “consumption,” what grief literacy is, and answer the following advice questions:

★ Hello Grief and Media! This is Justin from The Reading Podcast 😎 Like you, I love reality tv competitions like Survivor, Big Brother (RIP BBCanada 😭), Drag Race, etc. Since Survivor is so friendly now (Jeff Probst when I catch you…), I wanted to ask you what you think makes a good reality tv fight? (Bonus points if this is formatted in a very academic way but no worries)

★ How do you keep negative thoughts away when something really good is happening to you like a good job?
