NYMag Features Writer Rebecca Jennings joins the pod to discuss her new book, “Be The Bombshell: What Love Island Teaches Us About Dating.” We dig into how “Love Island” reflects the hellscape of modern courtship and simultaneously offers an antidote to our app-forward dating culture. (Our main takeaway? Girl, leave your house.) We also discuss how the show reflects our increasing political polarization, plays into the growing tendency to perform our relationships for external approval, and releases everyone from the tyranny of “the right reasons.”
