Ep 12 - Wedding Shaming

Wedding shaming is our new favourite internet-based hobby. On two huge Facebook groups, tens of thousands of people regularly insult, laugh at, and argue about dodgy cakes, ill-fitting dresses, and themed engagement shoots. Their content frequently goes viral, whether they want it to or not. Why are people really in these groups, and how harmful can stranger shaming be? Helen finds out.
