March 29, 2017 Can You Love Someone When You Don't Love Yourself?
This week, we look at some of the difficult questions around mental health and relationships. Can you break up with someone who's depressed? Should you tell a tinder date about a mental health problem? How does anxiety affect your sex life?
We hear a couple that broke up because of issues around sex and wellbeing, Emily Reynolds wrestles with the hard questions of dating with mental health problems and the artist Hannah Perry makes a case for rethinking our attitudes to "mad" behaviour.

March 22, 2017 Should You Quit Your Crappy Job?
Unemployment is a real problem for a lot of people and one we spend a lot of time talking about. But there's also the more niggling, first-world, problem of being stuck in a job that was just supposed to be a stop-gap, feeling undermotivated, wanting to quit but fearing the lack of security. When's the right time to quit your job? We hear from people who tried it with wildly varying results, then Joel Golby give us his Cosmo-style "Should you quit your job?" quiz.

March 15, 2017 Is Social Media An Addiction?
Most of us accept we're a bit hooked on social media, but for a lot of people it goes further than that. This week we hear from three people whose lives have been changed by social media: a junkie who can't quit Instagram, a writer who didn't like it when Twitter turned on him and a Vice writer who has unusual relationship with her Facebook stalker.

March 07, 2017 Is Smoking Weed Effectively Legal Now?
Some police forces have stopped prosecuting people for possessing small amounts of cannabis, instead diverting them into government programmes if they're caught. Does that mean weed is basically legal now? We hear from the police, weed smokers and people who've got caught to find out the legal status of weed in the UK.

December 22, 2016 Is Christmas Just For Kids?
It's the last podcast of the year, so we're heading to the pub to talk about the pains and pleasures of Christmas in your 20s: relentless drinking, bonking in your childhood bed and drunk parents. Also, Oobah asks people when they found out Santa wasn't real, and we enjoy a problematic Christmas quiz.

December 13, 2016 Was 2016 Really That Shit?
It's our review of the year, 2016. We discuss why everyone saying "2016 is shit" is shit, and we're joined by John Madden, the man behind the Sun Apologises twitter account, to talk about fake news and misreporting this year.

All that, plus Vice's human guinea pig Oobah reflects on his year bothering the general public in outlandish ways.

December 06, 2016 Do Teenagers Worry About The Same Things As Adults?
We're constantly reading that this generation of young people are going to be worse off than their parents, but how does that make them feel? In this week's podcast we spoke to a group of 15 and 16-year-olds about the problems they face as they see them. What they told us was surprising: they've never been to a houseparty, they photoshop their selfies and they're still not sure whether it's ok to be openly gay in school. We discuss everything from Islamophobia to sexting. Plus, Charlotte Church, John Lydon and Stormzy reveal what they think the problem is with young people.

November 29, 2016 Has Everything Been Done Before?
Anyone who has ever tried to be creative – in music, the arts, in their filing system at their shit temp job – has at some point felt the sinking feeling that they will never come up with anything new; that everything has been done before. And this feeling only intensifies as the internet continues to give us free, easy access to every cultural product in recent human history.

So has originality really died for good?

In this week's podcast, performance artist Marina Abramovic, PC Music's Danny L Harle and a big TV commissioner tell us how they deal with the question of originality. Then visual artist Matthew Stone discusses how 2016 may have messed up our feelings towards newness, and explains why, sometimes, it's not all about being first.

November 22, 2016 Is It OK To Masturbate To Facebook Photos?
Our lives are full of moral grey areas, things our parents' generation never had to worry about. Is it ok to send the same line to 10 different people on Tinder? Is it better to tell all your previous sexual partners about an STI individually, or on a group thread? Is it wrong to sleep with someone who's already in a relationship, even if they tell you they're "basically broken up" anyway. This week on the VICE podcast, our team of Vice contributors discuss modern moral quandaries, from cancelling plans at the last minute to wanking over Facebook photos. as we vote on what is and isn't ok anymore.
