Ep. 12: Being the #maincharacter is overrated

from Getting there? · host Lisa and Maja

In today’s episode we uncover society’s hyper-realism through its prime example of the current #maincharacter trend.  Does everyone really have the tools to romanticise their lives? Are we self-obsessed for broadcasting our lives on Instagram? And finally, is our online narrative-building getting out of hand or innately human?
