Show Notes

There’s a lot happening at Netflix. Its South Korean show “Squid Game” became a surprise hit, and then it sparked controversy with a Dave Chappelle special many of its own employees called out as transphobic. “The Closer” and “Squid Game” might not seem to have much in common — other than being the most talked about things on Netflix right now. But they both represent big swings for the world’s biggest streaming platform, and it’s not clear if they’re going to be home runs.

You’ll hear from:

Zoe Schiffer, senior reporter at The Verge covering labor and workplace organizing.

Sharon Kwon, therapist, psychiatric social worker, writer, & mental health advocate.
