What “Quiet on Set” Leaves Out

Candice Lim is joined by Slate culture writer Nadira Goffe to
discuss their takeaways from Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids
TV, a documentary series that details the toxic work environment,
child abuse and disturbing events that occurred on the set of
creator Dan Schneider’s shows. Schneider was the mind behind some
of Nickelodeon's most-watched programming including All That, The
Amanda Show and iCarly. But several dark truths were unearthed
following the arrest of two child predators who worked on his sets,
along with accusations of gender discrimination, sexual harassment
and alleged sexual behavior by Schneider himself. Following the
docuseries’ release, former child actors have used social media to
make statements and speak about their experiences on Nickelodeon
sets. But has the internet’s reaction from both viewers and former
child actors helped or hurt the purpose and aim of the docuseries
itself? This podcast is produced by Se’era Spragley Ricks, Daisy
Rosario, Candice Lim and Rachelle Hampton with production
assistance by Jared Downing. Learn more about your ad choices.
