Ready for the real spill from Tiger King villainess Carole Baskin, who became a viral phenomenon due to a heavy mix of Netflix and COVID? Listen in on how the big cat activist dealt with pandemic stress combined with “harmless” memes devolving into death threats from dummies. Dr. V poses questions about why Carole ended up such a target of hate while Joe Exotic emerged as a cult hero even as he sits in prison. Also discussed is how her efforts to shut down exotic animal abuse by money-hungry, sometimes meth-headed private zoo owners have been affected by the Tiger King series. Carole is a fascinating character who touched on one of the most ironic twists that occurred between her, the internet, and the public.
