Episode 3
Thursday, 11 March, 2021

In their third and final episode, Phoebe and Gigi discuss and compare Glee (2009) and Sex Education (2019) as similarly "progressive for their time" teen television shows. The two cohosts make conversation about these shows' shared themes of the queer teenage experience, representations of sexual encounters among teens, and high school cliques and tropes. It is a bittersweet ending to their trilogy of podcast episodes, so be sure to give it a listen to learn more!
