Episode 3: Who is representing you?

Representation in media is a topic that is constantly talked about these days. Some people say that things are fine, groups are equally represented in the media. Others think they are under-representation or the representation that they do receive in media is negative. So what does it mean to be represented? What does good representation look like? Where are we today when it comes to representation. All of these topics and more will be covered on today's Side Characters.
