The Surprise Allure Of This Pathetic Man

MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

Want a full breakdown of Jessie's wedding? Listen here...

Two high-profile cases in the media this week and what they tell us about reaching a conviction in a sexual assault trial.

Plus, the stealth marketing genius that has kids paying tens, hundreds, and thousands of dollars for… a bottle of soft drink.

And the internet has a new Girlboss; Kendall Roy. What’s behind the allure of the pathetic man, and what does Succession tell us about the surprising status symbols of the uber-rich?
