BeReal may be the hottest new social media app on the market, but
can it live up to its promise to be a more authentic alternative to
other platforms? Guest co-host Elise Hu talks with writers Haley
Nahman and Ryan Broderick about how BeReal signifies a shift in
what we want from our apps and why social media always barrels
towards its worst self. They also flex their pop culture knowledge
in a game of Who Said That.

Then, guest co-host Andrea Gutierrez talks with Jude Stewart,
author of Revelations in Air: A Guidebook to Smell. They discuss
trends in fragrance, how COVID is making us change how we think
about smells, and why scent is so tied to memory and emotion.
