48. Heroes and sticky conversations
This episode was recorded on 210324. When Helena became the hero of a 16-year old desperate kid who'd bought her son's Fortnight account, Dominic playing the evil Easter bunny and Caspian counters Helena's cute story with a crazy Santa-movie. Then we go down a rabbit hole where the former Swedish chancellor was arrested and locked up for a few days for a #metoo-ish issue, and out collective and individual difficulty of having the sticky, messy and hard conversations. Malmö University had a public spat on a similar topic with a group of sexology students having some serious issues with the teachings and culture of the department. And then there's the issue of the power dynamics on and on social media platforms, and the dumbing down effect of our "modern lifestyle". About role models and airing dirty laundry in the open or behind closed doors, ending on a fairly serious note, asking if there is a way to help someone start to look within and reflect?
