À propos de cet audio

In a house designed for manipulation, paranoia, and power plays, sixteen strangers are cut off from the outside world—watched every second by cameras, judged by millions.

Welcome to Big Brother. A show ahead of its time, it was once dismissed as fluff television. Now this voyeuristic reality show has quietly become a cultural juggernaut.

But what are the costs of turning human lives into entertainment? What kind of psychological toll does it take to be put in isolation, under constant surveillance, in a perpetual state of suspicion? And what does it say about us as a society that we love to watch it unfold?

Behind the Mirror: Inside the World of Big Brother peels back the layers of the historic franchise and dives deep into the game. Through years of live footage, online discourse, and controversial castings, this eye-opening book unpacks how Big Brother has shaped and exposed societal dynamics around race, gender, identity, power, and surveillance. It's the story of a show that thrives in chaos and reveals a reflection of us all. Whether you're a diehard fan or an unimpressed skeptic, Behind the Mirror will challenge what you thought you knew about reality TV.

Taran is a master at sharing the game of Big Brother. His love of the game and pursuit of recounting this game with as many who will join in this chaotic sometimes unlovable show is evident in his brilliant storytelling.

Thank you Taran

Honestly sobbed at the end. Captured what this silly little show in a parking lot means to me now, and to the kid that started obsessing over this show 15 years ago. Could listen over and over again.

Thank you for this
