Kristy for President: “The Worst” ft. Danielle Hanley

Kristy runs for president of SMS, so of course we had to have another political theorist join us! We chat with Danielle about her history with the BSC, her work on crying in the political sphere, and whether or not the Kishi sisters and Alan Gray predicted Cambridge Analytica. Was Kristy’s insomnia realistic? What is with the Jamie Newton bike subplot? And in perhaps the biggest betrayal of BSC Universe FACTS—WHY DIDN’T STACEY DEFEND MARY POPPINS?

Editor’s note: In the course of this episode, our guest refers to the Parkland survivor and activist X Gonzalez by the name and pronouns they were using at the time of the Parkland tragedy in 2018 (which was also the time at which she was writing about Gonzalez’s public speaking). We apologize for this oversight and respect Gonzalez’s autonomy and freedom to use the name and pronouns that best express their identity.
