How social are we, really? Is this real life, or is this just curation? I catch up with Heather Clancy, tastemaker deluxe, to talk smack about the psychology of social media, whether selfies are feminist, why ad-blockers rock and squatty potties. We also take some time to skim past the Oscars, why Treehouse is the future of work and rape culture in Game of Thrones. A jam-packed podcast with lots of swearing and general fun times.
You can find Heather on Twitter and Instagram, as well as Contently. You can email us at theluckypacketpodcast@gmail.com or tweet us at @luckypacketpod.
