The Sleepover Club: Authenticity in the URL World

This week, Ione and Olivia are tackling the issue of authenticity. With our online lives blending with our IRL existences more than ever due to lockdown, what does it mean to be authentic on the internet? Do we expect, or deserve, authenticity from those we follow? Is it unethical to use social issues to build an online following? And how do we, as content creators and consumers, play a role in making social media a more healthy space for everyone? The pair discuss all this and much more.

For this episode's lockdown recommendations, we're super excited to have a very special voice note from legend KatieJane Garside.
