‘Generation Barney’ why we love to hate this purple dinosaur

Update: 2024-12-23

Description

Why do we revisit the things we loved as kids? What’s the lasting power of our favorite TV shows and movies? A new podcast from Connecticut Public looks for answers in a big, purple dinosaur. It’s called Generation Barney.

This hour, we listen to episode 3 of the podcast – “Love 2 Hate.”

And later, we’re joined by an expert in anti-fandom, Emily Contois, who explains why people connect over shared hatred.

GUESTS:

Emily Contois, Media studies professor and faculty in residence, University of Tulsa
