ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Social Sleuth. Exploring the ever-captivating culture of the web.
Here at Social Sleuth, we investigate and create space for dialogue surrounding the cultural impacts of the things we share on the internet. Each month I sit down with a special guest to talk about what we share, why we share it, and what it says about us as an online society.
New episodes every 17th of the month.
