Join us today as we catch up with Dr. Lindsey Conlin Maxwell, and Associate Professor in the School of Communication at the University of Southern Mississippi. Have you ever found yourself sitting in front of the TV or other device and watching back-to-back-to-back episodes of a show? Have you ever found yourself feeling as if you might be missing out on something (FOMO) after looking at content on social media? Today's guest breaks all of that down for us. So many researchers study the whys and the how of media content, but Dr. Maxwell studies the enjoyment audience members get from consuming the content, including what benefits we as audience members get from binge-watching. Today's conversation is SO MUCH FUN because it's so relatable to our own media consumption.  We also talk about spoilers for TV shows and who likes them and who doesn't. You'll have to tune in to figure out who likes them!  Her latest publication is all about spoilers! You can check it out here:
