Monsters. Whose Story Is It? A Trial by Social Media and Can You Ask For Your Ex to Pay You Back?

Hey Lifers,
Britt and Laura won a big, fancy radio award for best podcast hosts!! Laura is finishing off sailing the high seas on her first cruise so producer Keeshia is filling in for her today. 
Both her and Britt have unexpected and uncalled for hangovers from the awards night.
Britt's whole family think Keeshia is a huge creep!

Last week we spoke about Monica and Stephen on Love Is Blind and Stephen’s use of ‘therapy speak’ in the pods to make him seem more emotionally intelligent and in tune.
More episodes have been released and... it's not good for Monica and Stephen. But, something happened when they were 'breaking up' and it had us questioning whether you should or shouldn't ask an ex to pay you back for any money they may owe you.
Have you asked for someone to pay you after you've broken up? What was the amount?

Two shows are currently trending about the Menendez brothers on Netflix. One is a documentary that involved the brothers who are currently in prison serving consecutive life sentences for the murder of their parents. The other is a dramatised TV series based on 10 different perspectives and directed by Ryan Murphy.
Ryan Murphy is known for his controversial true crime dramas like Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, the People vs. O.J. Simpson, and The Assassination of Gianni Versace.`

We discuss:

  • Whether it’s ethical to create a series that includes traumatic events without consulting with the people most affected by it, 
  • Whether sensationalising true crime stories has gone too far, 
  • How the public perception of victims of abuse has evolved, and
  • The power of social media in turning attention to these stories.
