The Dr. Kimcast
Host Dr. Kim has a PhD in Human Development and Family Studies and is a certified coach/educator. Co-host Dacia asks questions from a learner's perspective (and makes sure Dr. Kim explains the fancy words she uses). The Dr. Kimcast is a podcast where people can have fun and refill their cups as they learn creative ways to welcome their emotions, learn self-awareness, and understand that they aren’t navigating stress and change alone.

Episode 12
Do you have close relationships with fictional TV characters? Were your core values partially formed by movies and books? If so, this is the episode for you!
Dacia takes the wheel, discussing the personal and social significance of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Twin Peaks, and other TV and movie franchises. Dr. Kim chimes in with theories about parasocial interaction and relationships to explain why we feel so connected with celebrities and the characters they play, and how Dacia is totally and completely normal for having just traveled to attend the Buffering the Vampire Slayer podcast's Buffy Prom. Nerd factor: 11.
