16. Bridgerton: Royal Life vs. Real Life

In this episode we chat about the Netflix show “Bridgerton,” share our thoughts on Simone Ashley as Kate Sharma in Season 2, and discuss color-conscious casting and South Asian representation in media. We also discuss the Meghan Markle interview with Oprah - how the comments about colorism and the family drama hit a little too close to home, and how Bridgerton’s utopian portrayal of royal life doesn’t necessarily play out in real life. We also read our favorite reactions to the show that you shared with us!

Also the special intro/outro for this episode is featuring a super dope Bridgerton Theme - Cello Cover feat. Andrew Ascenzo from Pulse Music Media! Check him out IG/TikTok/Twitter/Facebook @pulsemusicmedia
