As Seen On
As Seen On is an anthology narrative podcast about tropes in literature and film. Specifically, we tell stories about the people who are often treated as plot devices and make the story about them. What would a fairy godmother's life be like in real life? What is the manic pixie dream girl's deal? Written by Grace Day and produced by Tessa Faye Talent, As Seen On is Sometimes sad, sometimes absurd, sometimes just poking fun and sometimes deadly serious. We want people to give stereotypes and tropes in entertainment a second-thought. While some episodes might make you cry and others will make you laugh, we hope that each one will start a conversation, even if it begins with “I don’t get it.”
