Series 2, Episode 4 - A Slice of Cheese Among All the Poo

Is This Thing On?

Sachin and Lindsey are back at The Duke and, not surprisingly, they begin by chatting about the coronavirus, specifically how its surge in impact and importance came as a surprise to both of them, how they've noticed it affecting their everyday lives and why they feel the panic around it - specifically stockpiling - may be doing more harm than good.

From there the discussion moves onto a topic your co-hosts have been planning to speak about for a while - the Facebookification of Twitter. As Sachin explains, it's a term coined by his friend Harry Sherlock to described the increased levels of self focus and self indulgence that have been taking place on Twitter for a few months now, seen in things like the Decade Challenge and the Dolly Parton Challenge - two things Sachin hates and Lindsey, well, took part in.

Lindsey speaks candidly about exactly why she got involved in them - as well as the more recent Doppelgänger Challenge - which leads to a really interesting discussion about social media in general. What are the negatives? What are the positives? Does Sachin really need to be so bloody grumpy about it all the time?

Finally, as ever, there is the quiz (PUB QUIZ!), which on this occasion is based on Lindsey's experience of another quiz entirely.

So download, listen and love. And after you have, please Rate and Review. Also, get in touch with Sachin and Lindsey via the ITTO? Twitter account (@ITTOpod) and/or the ITTO? email address ([e-mail]).

Cheers!
