Tidbits of Truth

This week, Hope brings Sam up to speed on #oreogate - the now viral Instagram drama unfolding daily (19 episodes at the time of recording, now there are 37 episodes/reels). We discuss the drama, the insanity, whether or not it's ethical for brands to advertise in this way, and the big question... Is Oreogate real, or is there evidence to suggest that it's completely and flat out made up?#drama #podcast #ai #socialmediamarketing #fyp

This week on Tidbits of Truth, Hope and Sam break the age old rule: don't read the comments. Together, they discuss the tragic state of today's internet and, of course, the infamous comment section. Is there any hope of sanity, productive dialogue, or even an attempt to understand one another left?

In this episode, Hope & Sam discuss things we as a society accept as "okay" when in reality, we would all agree they're unhealthy for us. We finish off with giving out some advice to a husband on Reddit wondering if he's being too controlling for asking his wife to let him know her ETA at the beginning of her 8 hour drive home.

In this episode, Hope and Sam talk about the gimmicky marketing tactics of mystery box products, and how social media amplifies those specific fads and trends. They discuss the difference between collecting items because you enjoy them, vs because other people seem to care about them. Would these trends be as big as they are if not for social media, specifically TikTok?

***As always, we come at these topics from a Christian Conservative perspective, so keep that in mind before chiming in to the conversation!***

In this third installment of Agree to Disagree, Hope and Sam dive into more controversial topics such as DEI, Marvel, whether or not you should adopt from dog breeders, and whether or not you're wasting your potential as a stay at home mom.
