Episodes 19: Problems in the Paranormal with Stephanie McCown!
Description
TW: Language, Adult Themes including Abuse
One of the biggest pet peeves we all have as paranormal investigators or consumers of paranormal media is the rampant ableism, gatekeeping, and dumb tricks a lot of these 'Ghost Bros' perform on camera for crappy generic ghost hunting shows.
We are sick of people getting famous for yelling at dust particles in locations where many people suffered. Brilliant feminist writer, poet, artist AND podcast vlogger (we told you - these people are ALL TALENT!) Stephanie McCown (she/her/they) is sick of it too. Stephanie is going to help us break down some of the major problems with these shows, and talk with us about her ideas on how to interact with the weird in a way that is meaningful, respectful, and avoids exploitation.
Becoming a member of Team Brick and has had a real impact in her life since learning about Mother Joseph, and she'll share some of that with us too. Make sure to connect with her on Twitter or Instagram!
This is just part one of our Declaration of War on Ghost Bros! Part Two (Episode 20) will be out soon!
