Episode notes
Comedian Jen Kober always knew why she felt an affinity with Mindy Cohn’s Natalie on The Facts of Life. Natalie was the rare bigger girl on TV in the 1980s, and yet that wasn’t a huge part of her character — she was smart, goofy, and beloved by her friends.

About the show
On Feeling Seen, writer and general enthusiast Jordan Crucchiola invites filmmakers, writers, comedians, and artists to discuss the movie characters that made them “feel seen.” It’s about that instant when a person connects to a piece of art so deeply that they see themselves reflected in it. Every week Jordan gabs it up with a guest about those magical moments when they were watching a film and realized, “That’s me!” It’s an informative, funny, and comforting show about our intimate relationship with movies, the impact they have on our lives, and how they influence our art.
