Episode 13: Just Diggin' Rectangles in the Ground.

This week, Stella explores the conditions of YouTube and how that impacts the true crime and makeup videos from the legendary Brittany Vaughn. Unpacking Vaughn's video on Peter Sutcliffe, Stella explains how the political economies of YouTube shape and effect Vaughn's brilliant content. 

Note: at one point Stella talks about a piano sound effect. It is not a piano! It is a xylophone!
