Episode 01: Dark Origins of Children's Programming — Part I

Kids left home alone, middle-aged women talking to you through the television screen, and… Ronald Reagan?! Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark! In this debut episode of That’s Pretty Dark—and the first of many “trauma breakdowns”—Kalyn and Christian discuss the origins of children’s programming thanks to the nuclear family and the deregulation of marketing products to children. Listen up, latchkey kids - this one goes out to you.
