Ep 13. "Parasocial Hall of Fame"

In the words of Mariah Carey, "Why you so obsessed with me?" and "You're delusional, you're delusional." This week, we're talking about parasocial relationships.  As both participants and recipients of parasocial behaviour, Abbey and Mish each share a non-exhaustive list of their favourite public figures (and their close, personal connections to them). It's all real, right? Ha ha ha. We would *totally* get along with every person on this list. We're not weird! Like, at all!  [Editor's note: This is all in good fun. We will NOT show up at anyone's home or assassinate a political figure to get your attention.]  ALSO: We had ads now. Support women-led businesses. Like Softblock Softblock, The Podcast is a new Canadian show hosted by Abbey Humphreys-Morris and Michelle Blight. Softblock is the ramification of two young girls meeting at an underfunded public school nearly two decades ago. Trauma-bonded by standardized testing, high school theatre programs, terrible ex-boyfriends, arts degrees, and shitty inflated apartments, Michelle and Abbey invite you to join their kitchen floor time, their bar rambling, and nearly twenty years of friendship. + FOLLOW THE PODCAST Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/softblockpod/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@softblockpod  + LINKS Linktree: https://linktr.ee/softblockpod  + CONTACT US If you have any questions, comments, or stories you wish to submit, send us an email about [email protected].
