In this episode we revisit one of the internet’s biggest viral moments the Coldplay concert video that had everyone convinced they had witnessed a cheating scandal in real time. But after hearing more details from later interviews and public conversations, we realised the story people ran with might not have been the full story at all.

We talk about what actually came out after the viral moment, how quickly people create narratives online, and whether public reactions crossed the line from gossip into something much darker. We discuss internet pile-ons, public humiliation, workplace dynamics, double standards, and why women often seem to carry more of the blame in situations like this.

We also get into whether celebrities or events have any responsibility when something unexpectedly goes massively viral, and ask a bigger question when does internet entertainment stop being entertainment?

And of course… we’re doing it with wine.
