Episode #184: The Price of Silence

Right up top: both content and trigger warnings are in full effect for this edition. Regular listeners of Fuel Your Fandom know that Saint and Jim first met while working as activists — fighting online child predation for the Perverted-Justice.com watchdog org as well as Dateline NBC's "To Catch a Predator." So when the Max limited series "Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV" dropped, it was more or less required viewing...even if it was undeniably uncomfortable. In this episode, your hosts break down the content of the show from the perspective of people who spent a significant portion of their lives fighting exactly the sort of people and events that took place behind the scenes at Nickelodeon under the auspices of Dan Schneider's television empire, and offer the unique perspective of a couple of everyday schmucks who were involved in a broadcast-based movement that operated on the polar opposite of the same issue.
