Constellation, Episode 23 | Trigger Warnings, The Movies That Make Us Cry, Our Favorite Books and Authors, Swimming (Patreon)

It's time yet again for another episode of Last Stand Media's conversational podcast, Constellation. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by associate editor Ben Smith and coordinator Micah Watson. Dagan's topic explores the media -- primarily the films and TV shows -- that quite literally bring a tear to our eye. What sets off our waterworks? Micah thinks trigger and content warnings have gotten out of control, to the detriment of both the content that's being endlessly targeted and the people who are apparently being protected. On the back of Cormac McCarthy's unfortunate passing, Ben wonders which authors and books speak most to us, and what our reading habits have even become as adults. Does reading play a role in our lives? Finally, Colin brings something easy and breezy to the table, a seasonal inquiry: Are we going swimming this summer or what?
