Little House on the Prairie confronts its racist past + Ray-Ban Meta glasses
About this episode
Little House on the Prairie has been adapted countless times, and Netflix is adding their modern retelling into the Laura Ingalls Wilder canon. TV critics Johnnie Jae and Kathryn VanArendonk join guest host Radheyan Simonpillai to talk about what Little House on the Prairie has meant to the generations who grew up with it, and how much has changed with the representation of Osage characters in showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine’s version.
Also, Commotion guest host Rad Simonpillai is joined by Vass Bednar to discuss the criticisms around Meta’s new AI glasses campaign featuring Kylie Jenner and what the rise of wearable technology means for how we understand privacy.
