Episode notes

Reality TV. You may have heard shows like Keeping up with the Kardashians, however those are shows that are staged to bring out the worst in people for the sake of entertainment. So we talked to Jack Aktins from The Circle on Netflix, a reality TV show where regular people stay in apartments and compete in social experiment and competitions where they flirt, befriend and catfish their way toward $100,000, to talk about what recording a reality TV show is like. Jack is just a college student, only a couple years older than us high schoolers, however he was able to get into Season 2 of The Circle. Tune into this special episode to learn more about what Jack’s life was like living in The Circle, and how the transition was going from filming a show to going back to his junior year in the University of Chicago.
