Lovebombing, "The Ick," & WTF is Ye up t...

SHIT YOU SHOULD CARE ABOUT
About this episode

Listen to the full episode on Spotify here.

And Apple Podcasts here.


We start off with an extremely chaotic chat about Ye - is he ok? Is this a PR stunt? Should we care? How long until everyone tunes out? And then we dive into a far more intellectual chat about the TikTokification of terms like "Lovebombing" and "gaslighting," when "the ick" is actually a red flag, and of course, the Tinder Swindler.


As always, a big shout out to Neon - literally the best NZ streaming service - for making this episode of Culture Vulture possible.
