PSA: this is going to be our last ever podcast episode! Over the last few months there’s been a lot going on for the guys here at The Social Delusion, so we’ve decided to put the podcast in the backseat while we focus on exciting things to come.

In this episode we talk one last time about what’s happening in the news- from the new vaccine (& whether we’ll take it!) to coming out of lockdown again... as well as the Sainsbury’s Christmas ad that caused so much controversy.

We end the episode reminiscing on the whole experience of doing a podcast together & discussing what comes next for us all. We hope you’ve loved this journey as much as we have, & thank you for rocking with us this year. It’s truly been a pleasure... Over & out!

As we’re now approaching the festive season, our TV screens & social media feeds are becoming filled with Christmas adverts from all of our favourite brands & retailers. In this episode, we take a look at changing buying habits as consumers start to spend more (even during a pandemic!). We consider the possible correlation between social media and today’s spending psyche - where there seems to be more of a need to have the latest items & keep up to a lifestyle that’s possibly not sustainable. We also discuss some of the financial & environmental implications this mentality is having on our society.

The constant awareness of our physical appearance has never been so intensified due to the socially charged world that we live in. In today’s episode, we open up about how our appearances have affected us personally as guys and what the road looks like when it comes to self-love and finding peace in ourselves. We also discuss some of our concerns for the younger generation who live in a digital age that is constantly feeding them a false preconception of beauty & the implications of that.
