ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Episode 3 - Affective Reception and Characters with Nicolle Lamerichs

After an unexpectedly long hiatus, I talk with Nicole Lamerichs, senior researcher at the HKU in The Netherlands. We discuss about our rising interest and engagement with fictional characters, fan's affective reception of them, and the (para-)social relationships we build with them in dating simulators. This episode was recorded on October 28th, 2021, so some references are currently older than they were when we speak about them in the episode.
