More annoying as it goes on.

"People were upset by a teenage girl dancing for money bc they were prudes" *INDIAN music plays* "look at this offensive Middle Eastern cliché!". This guy is full of horrible takes and is way too ignorant to be so easily offended.

I had never heard of the show Kid Nation and this podcast is a fascinating deep dive and look behind the scenes. I enjoyed this podcast and recommend it to others. 😊

Description

There’s a story going around, that punk-pop sensation Avril Lavigne ISN’T who you think she is. That she was replaced at the start of her career by a look-a-like. It’s an internet conspiracy theory which has been eating comedian Joanne McNally ALIVE, and she’s going to do something about it.


Joanne immerses herself in a mind-bending world of fake celebrity deaths, doppelgangers, conspiracies in an effort to understand how this rumour started, and if there’s any truth to it. Produced by What’s The Story Sounds – for BBC Sounds and CBC.


Welcome to Split Screen, an examination of the utterly captivating, sometimes unsettling world of entertainment and pop culture. From reality TV gone awry, to the cult of celebrity, each season of Split Screen takes listeners on an evocative journey inside the world of showbiz. Ex-contestants, producers, and cultural critics uncover complicated truths behind TV’s carefully curated facades, and question what our entertainment reveals about us. Split Screen: sometimes reality is twisted.
