In this solo episode of The Lawmas Podcast, Lauren explores the buzz around the Netflix reality show Age of Attraction and the conversations it has sparked about age gaps in relationships. She breaks down the difference between what feels uncomfortable or “icky” and what actually constitutes grooming or predatory behavior, emphasizing the importance of using those terms accurately—especially when discussing fully consenting adults. Lauren also shares her thoughts on how society reacts to unconventional relationships and why context matters when labeling behavior. She then shifts into a discussion on the Apple TV+ series Severance, diving into the ethical and legal implications of separating work and personal identities. From questions about consent and autonomy to the blurred lines between legality and ethics, this episode challenges listeners to think more deeply about how emerging ideas and technologies could impact our future.
