Listen Later

Welcome to Cryptic Soup, your after-dark podcast. In this week's episode, join Thena and Kylee to talk about the rise to fame of boyband, One Direction. We discuss the overworked careers they had, and how that affected some of them for the worse. These struggles continued for some of the members, specifically Liam Payne who spoke out about his addictions and struggles. In 2024 Liam died far too soon, at only 31 years old, and many people wondered if the struggles were part of the reasoning.
