52. Running is quiet activism, actually | Deinfluencing you from RunTok
Allow me to try & deinfluence you from believing everything you see on RunTok, and instead learn about the women trailblazers who were only allowed to officially start running in marathons in 1972 (!! you read that right...) I've started training for a half marathon and my TikTok feed has sent me into the depths of hell (runner's waist, runner's face & SkinnyTok)... so let's talk about it. We're deep diving the most insane running event I've ever heard of (Barkley 100), running as an everyday act of feminism, and whether we can ever separate ourselves completely from the pressures of diet culture.

The paradox of being a teen in 2026. In this episode we deep dive teen culture, specifically: where do all the teens go when there's no teen media, but social media is banned?

49. Euphoria hysteria | The death of nuance in online discourse
Comment sections are sometimes the most aggressive places to be online right now. While we can blame this on declining literacy rates, poor education funding and keyboard warrior culture, perhaps the platforms themselves are more to blame than we think.

Unpacking the principle of charity, why comment sections get so heated & why tolerance and empathy are so hard to come by online through the lens of Euphoria Season 3 discourse...
