In January 2019, Michael Gerry of College Station, Texas, turned on a camera and hasn’t turned it off since. He began The Michael Gerry Live Stream Project, a one year continuous live stream of every moment of his life; everything from hanging with friends, to sleeping, to going out on the town is streamed and archived for anyone to watch. On this podcast, we will explore the origins of this project, its evolution as the year went on, and the effects it is having on Michael’s friends, family, fans and Michael himself.

#8. Parasocial Relationships (w/ Michael Gerry, Ethan McChristian, and Shelbi)
Brian and Simon discuss the different levels of parasocial relationships and how it relates to Michael's project. Then, Shelbi, one of Michael's real life friends who met because of the stream, joins us to discuss her experience with the project. Finally, Michael and Ethan join us live "in studio" from New Jersey (and Simon's living room) to discuss parasocial interactions relating to Michael's fans, and whether or not Michael expected to impact so many lives.
