About

This podcast was created using artificial intelligence technology.


Examine the economics of anxiety-driven consumption and the marketplace of social validation. We delve into the absurdity of spending money we don't have on experiences we don't enjoy for photos we don't need. Through humorous analysis, we explore how FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) has created entire industries, from exclusive pop-up experiences to limited edition everything, and why we're willing to pay premium prices for the privilege of saying 'I was there.'
