Today I am joined by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lucyblakiston/">Lucy Blakiston,</a> owner of the OG Instagram news account, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/shityoushouldcareabout/">Shit You Should Care About</a>, which now has over 3.4 Million followers (& I can almost bet you've shared one of their tiles on your story before).
 
In this episode we not only talk about the origins of content creating, online performance activism and the conflicting feelings of sometimes being the only news source for people - but we decide to tackle a big question that I have been desperately wanting to cover on Small Talk for a while now, should we expect celebrities to speak on politics?? 
 
It's a question that both Lucy and I have gone back and forth on many times over the years (and in this episode) and we are so excited to hear your thoughts.

It might not be tangible news but each week there’s something in the cultural zeitgeist that gets us all talking. We want to unpack these frivolous conversations, from new trends to relationship theories to life advice.
In an age of never-ending small talk, we want to examine how these collective thoughts affect the way we see the world. We may even reach out to a few friends and experts to weigh in.
