Description

How has TV impacted our lives? If you ask Fenton Bailey (co-producer of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ and co-founder of World of Wonder), TV has a had a huge impact on our lives, and he wrote all about it in ‘ScreenAge: How TV Shaped Our Reality from Tammy Faye to RuPaul’s Drag Race.’ Beyond telling the history of World of Wonder (from his early days with RuPaul in the 80’s in New York City to creating award-winning documentaries about Tammy Faye Bakker, Monica Lewinsky and on club kid culture of the 90’s), Bailey goes deep into why TV is way more than the distant cousin of movies, it is, in fact, a potent force in pop culture.
