On Reese Grey Analyzes, Reese takes a look at creations & experiences in art, media, music, & even video-games to explore exactly WHY we think the way we think, question what we believe, and learn something new. The media we consume undoubtedly impacts our lives & interactions and that doesn’t have to be an inherently good or bad thing. What is important is that there’s an awareness that we have that our minds and hearts...that we are in fact, being effected whether we like it or not. Join Reese on her journey, clutching tourist pamphlets in one hand and an iced coffee in the other. Reese will be the best tour guide she can. Sarcastic quips, apathetic meltdowns, and when you need it, reassuring hi-fives—all included. Visit ReeseGrey.com for Full Source Notes, Transcript & YouTube Video [VodCast] + Twitch Stream Highlights!
