The topic of representation and authenticity is explored in the podcast episodes, which highlight the importance of authentic representation, particularly for marginalized communities.

In the episode "Susan Kelechi Watson and Us | Beth Pearson", the conversation explores Watson's efforts to ensure authentic representation of her character as a Black woman, including advocating for a hairstylist who could properly work with her natural hair texture.

Similarly, the episode "Eddie Glaude Jr.: Biden Needs to Thread the Needle" touches on the importance of authentic representation and the critique of the tendency to police the language and expression of marginalized groups.
