After an anxiety induced extended hiatus, we have made it out of the house and into the studio (which is in our house) to record an episode about Facebook.

Cambridge Analytica helped bring to the world’s attention what we have known all along: Facebook is a steaming pile of anxiety inducing poison. We ask questions like does Facebook really improve our lives, or were things better when we lived in a series of networked caves and grunted at each other around a fire? Were cavemen affected by toxic masculinity and how is Facebook like your abusive ex boyfriend?
