Episode 55: Heartbreak High aka All Hail Queen Chloe Hayden (with Zoe Simmons)

TRANSCRIPT HERE   Welcome to Hartley High, where the kids are much much cooler than we ever were but also more relatable than they’ve ever been. Join disability advocate, journalist and copywriter Zoe Simmons, as she discusses with Steph what she related to in Netflix’s 2022 reboot of iconic Australian series, Heartbreak High. Steph and Zoe discuss how the writers really strived to provide appropriate representation, what landed and what didn’t, and ok spoiler - how the character of Quinni played by Chloe Hayden is hands down the best autistic representation we have seen to date.
