Welcome back to Deep Dives in the Shallow End! In this episode, Donovan unpacks the surreal world of parasocial relationships—where emotional bonds are forged with influencers, creators, and even brands that don’t know we exist. From curated content to the dark side of digital intimacy, this episode explores the psychology, the economics, and the absurdity of living in a world where your "bestie" is one DM away—but only for a price. Are we truly connected, or just wandering in a parasocial purgatory? Join us for a satirical, insightful, and (mostly) ridiculous look at the phenomenon shaping modern relationships.
