PATREON BONUS: The Babysitters Club- Stacey’s Emergency: Diabetes is not simply a maths game
TRANSCRIPT HERE
Today you get a taster of what you'll find from our Patreon with an extra special release of an exclusive bonus episode - for everyone to hear!
Steph makes Michael watch season 2 episode 3 of the Babysitter's Club, and then fires questions at him about how his diabetes experience compares to that of Stacey McGill, member of the BSC with juvenile diabetes. It's a position of power for Steph, but also allows Michael to vent a lot. A perfect combination! Find out about the complexity of managing your diabetes (NB as a white, educated, affluent cis man), and of course which BSC character = which SATC character. Naturally.
