A conversation with Emma Handschke. We discuss social media and the commodification of authenticity, Instagram, Be Real, Tiktok, Reddit, advertising, artificiality, social media addiction, the negative effects of social media and technology, information overload, marathon running, the COROS watch, the dilemma of public gyms, people's hatred of winter, anorexia and sport, multi-day trek trails, what anorexia looks like, mukbangs, and recovery from anorexia and the connection between anorexia and veganism.

At 1:43:00 I meant to say Queenstown, not Wellington. Wellington is in the south of the North Island, while Queenstown is in the south of the South Island, which is where the Routeburn track is.

Movies to watch:
