In this episode of the podcast, we dive deep into one of the biggest questions from Love Is Blind… if you were in the pods, would you be able to tell someone’s ethnicity just from their voice? 👀 Is love really blind, or are we picking up subtle clues without even realising?
We also talk about getting cooked online for your opinions or even your appearance. In the age of cancel culture and viral clips, are we all just one hot take away from trending for the wrong reasons?
From there, we switch lanes into the world of fake followers, buying likes, and social media clout chasing. How many influencers are really organic? Is buying engagement the worst kept secret on Instagram? And does follower count still equal influence?
Plus, we have a fun debate about brands with catchy jingles that are permanently stuck in our heads. Are companies low-key brainwashing us with marketing psychology? Why do certain adverts and slogans never leave your memory?

Love Is Blind debate
