Parasocial Relationships and Obsession

In this episode of So Listen: A Positing of Hideas, Kief Ericson and Sage Haze dive into the wild world of parasocial relationships—those one-sided bonds we form with celebrities, influencers, fictional characters, and even podcasters (wink). How deep does the obsession go? When does admiration turn into unhealthy attachment? And is there a way to keep our love for public figures fun without crossing into delusion? Join us as we get high and philosophize on the fine line between fandom and fixation, the psychology behind these relationships, and how social media blurs the boundaries more than ever. Light up, lean back, and let’s get weird with it.
