On average, you spend 2 hours and 22 minutes of your day on social media. Let's say you're 25 years old, got your first MySpace when you were 13. That's at least 9,723.6 hours of your life.
Over the past ten years, channels have risen and fallen, trends have come and go. More importantly, social media has changed the way we think, behave, and act– on and off the internet.
This podcast aims to explore the good, the bad and the ugly of social through stories and expert analysis.
Some episodes may make you laugh, others may make you cry. But it's a podcast, so at least no one has to know.

Customer Reviews
Great insights!
I have really enjoyed these episodes so far because they dive into the inner workings/behind the scenes of what it’s like in the social media game. Even as a digital creator myself, I’m blown away at the effort and professionalism of the industry and its overwhelming to do it as a one person crew. This is big business and it takes a team to really get the ball rolling. Great insights from the host and guests!!
Real talk
I love this! If you want to feel like you’re sitting around with your friends talking about the harder things in life this is it, Venus is blunt in the very best way and always keeps you laughing! Can’t wait for the next episode.
