Is Your Country a Balding Disaster or a Hair-Raising Success?Welcome to the follicular freak show you never knew you needed.In this episode, Max and Lisa go bald—or at least mentally bald—as they dive into the worldwide crisis of male pattern baldness, where 45% of Spanish men are waving goodbye to their hairlines and clinging to their dignity like a few stubborn strands on the crown.Why are European men’s scalps looking like they just survived a forest fire? And why are Argentine men apparently immune? (What’s in their yerba mate—Minoxidil?)Lisa dishes the genetics, Max rants about the hair loss-industrial complex, and together they question if baldness is a silent epidemic… or just a European aesthetic.Note: This project explores the new creative potential unlocked by generative AI, showcasing how a single person, in just two hours, can curate (not create, but curate) a polished podcast series.
