Ep. 48 - "I Support The Current Thing."

Things... things. There are lots of things. But, typically, depending on what the media is focused on, there is always a "current thing". Nowadays, social media makes deliberating much easier, with its unique ability to dictate "sides". People used to read full-page newspaper columns and watch breaking news updates in order to gain enough info to formulate an opinion on a matter. Now, receiving "factual" information for highly complex current events is boiled down to mere Instagram infographics, blue check tweets, and sometimes even rap verses. This week's episode topic is inspired by the OG NPC meme, representing folks who struggle to make their own decisions. Hey, gotta love a good meme! Tune into this episode to hear our take on "I support the current thing" culture.
