In episode 77 of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean chat about the Stranger Things finale, unpacking character arcs, symbolism, and why certain endings land better than others. From there, the conversation widens to look at how violence is normalised in media, gun culture and global politics, and what responsibility we hold as global citizens. The duo also discuss if Veganuary is a meaningful form of activism.

Enjoy the ride!
