Hiya! Coming up on today’s show: Can we talk about Subway Takes? There’s no denying it – if you remove all the nuance from an opinion, that opinion is much more likely to go viral on the internet. These divisive, one-liner opinions have infiltrated so many algorithms over the past couple of years – but what are ‘subway takes’ doing to our brains?  This episode of Shameless is brought to you by Myer. Also, shout-out to DoorDash! On today’s show, Gil recommended The Chair Company on HBO Max. Zara recommended Cameron Diaz Talks Marriage, Family, and Real Life with Joel Madden on YouTube. Your hosts are Zara McDonald (@zamcdonald) and today, filling in for Michelle Andrews (@michelleandrews1), we have Eilish Gilligan (@eilishgilligan).
