Pop the Balloon & Public Shame: Why We Love Watching People Crash
Manage episode 481910942 series 3601296
We're not saying society is broken, but... actually yes we are. In this episode of Is This How It Ends, Soph and Nele dive headfirst into the media’s ongoing obsession with humiliation—from viral breakup videos to the spectacle of celebrity downfall (hi Diddy 👋🏽). They break down why shows like Pop the Balloon are both hilarious and horrifying, and how algorithms thrive off your pain (or at least your messiest moments).
🔊 Highlights include:
- Trump’s alternate universe press tour
- Diddy’s legal spiral
- The conspiracy that fame demands public humiliation
