S2E1 - Flags, Echo Chambers & World Peace (Kind Of): Social Media, Identity & Staying Sane
Manage episode 521206725 series 3703444
Season 2 kicks off with a bang. Andy and Siobhán dive headfirst into a conversation that starts with echo chambers on social media and spirals (in true Why Not & What If fashion) into flags, racism, homelessness, ADHD, Covid resets, world peace, and why assumptions make an ass out of you and me.
From Andy’s raw story of being homeless in the French Alps to the uncomfortable reality of St George’s flags and what they’ve come to represent, this episode asks: how do we disagree without dehumanising? What’s the intent behind the symbols we see? And are we evolving fast enough for the world we’ve created?
It’s messy. It’s challenging. It’s occasionally unhinged. And it’s exactly why you came back for Season 2.
