    Season 3, Episode 33: Parasocial Relationships

    Sidenote: It's been so long since I've podcasted, I'm rusty  This episode, recorded on Father's Day, riffs briefly about fatherhood and mental health (while making a cool announcement) before delving into parasocial relationships.  We discuss what parasocial relationships are using diverse examples such as Dora the Explorer, Taylor Swift, and social media influencers.
