Viral videos of crimes rack up millions of views — so why are they still online?In this short episode, we unpack the uncomfortable reality behind social media moderation and why platforms like TikTok struggle to remove illegal or harmful content quickly.From algorithm-driven engagement to legal grey areas, the system often rewards shock, outrage, and controversy — even when the content crosses a line.In this mini episode, we discuss:• Why viral crime clips spread so quickly• How TikTok’s algorithm prioritises engagement• The challenge of moderating billions of videos• Why enforcement can be slow or inconsistent• The real-world consequences when crime turns into online cloutBecause when content gets views, the algorithm pays attention — and sometimes the damage is already done before anything gets taken down.Let us know your thoughts in the comments:Should platforms be doing more to stop harmful content from going viral?Like, subscribe, and join the conversation.Listen & Spill — no safe takes.

“Our grandparents waited years for love letters… we wait minutes for a reply.”

In this episode of Listen & Spill, Sarah and Georgia unpack the evolution of love — from handwritten letters and community courtship to dating apps, instant access, and choice overload.

Was love better back then… or just different?

We explore how previous generations approached commitment, patience, and partnership — and contrast it with modern dating culture, where independence is prized, options are endless, and attention spans are shorter than ever.

🔥 In this episode, we discuss:

• How people met and courted “back then”

• Marriage expectations, loyalty, and traditional roles

• Dating apps & instant access culture

• Are we more selective… or more disposable?

• Emotional needs that haven’t changed

• Commitment vs freedom in modern relationships

• Did older generations stay because they wanted to — or because they had to?

We also kick things off with a quick-fire round:

Calling or texting?S

leeping on the phone?

Seeing your partner more or less than 3x a week?

If your partner asks for a break… what does that really mean?

This episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered:

* Is love harder now?

* Are we too independent?

* Has social media changed romance?

* Or have we just redefined it?

💭 Final reflection:If love is timeless… why does it feel so different?

Cheating doesn’t happen by accident — it happens by choice.In this episode of Listen & Spill, we’re tearing into the real reasons people cheat, the excuses they hide behind, and the psychological gymnastics that make betrayal feel “justified” to the person doing the damage.From emotional cheating and backup options to validation addiction and ego-driven behaviour, nothing is off the table. We break down the different types of cheaters, the lies they love to tell, and the aftermath they never want to talk about — the guilt, the panic, and the disrespect disguised as charm.We also turn the mirror on ourselves and ask the uncomfortable question: why do people stay with cheaters?
