Summary

Today we discuss HBO's recent Nickelodeon documentary "Quiet on Set" that details alleged and proven instances of child abuse in the child-acting industry and specifically at the kids' network Nickelodeon. The series highlights the careers of Amanda Bynes, who famously struggled with substance abuse and mental health issues after she stopped acting, and Drake Bell, who has now come out with his own shocking and tragic testimony of being abused by a Nickelodeon dialogue coach. What does this mean for the acting industry at large? What should parents do if their children want to get into entertainment, and do kids have a place at all as the household breadwinner? --- Timecodes: (00:43) Intro to Nickelodeon documentary (08:50) Dan Schneider / Amanda Bynes (19:55) Questionable “jokes” in show (36:05) Jason Handy and Brian Peck (38:30) Drake Bell (1:00:40) Protecting kids --- Today's Sponsors: A’del — Try A'del's hand-crafted, artisan, small-batch cosmetics and use promo code ALLIE 25% off your first time purchase at AdelNaturalCosmetics.com We Heart Nutrition — nourish your body with research-backed ingredients in your vitamins at WeHeartNutrition.com and use promo code ALLIE for 20% off.
