On today’s show, we interview one of our favorite writers and thinkers, Emily Nussbaum, the Pulitzer prize-winning TV critic for the New Yorker. Nussbaum is the author of a new collection of essays called “I Like to Watch: Arguing My Way Through the TV Revolution”, released last month. The book is full of language she thinks we’re lacking in this so-called Quality Television era: language about unabashedly loving the TV shows you love, without being shamed into calling them “guilty pleasures” by snooty cultural gatekeepers. Nussbaum talks to Mother Jones assistant news editor, Becca Andrews, about being Jane the Virgin mega-fans, and the messy task of critics who need to wrestle with certain male artists as the MeToo era forces painful new assessments of their work.
