Ep. 17: There's A Lot Going On.. | #BecauseWeSaidSoPod

*OPEN ME* This week on Because We Said So, we mix our hot topics with pop culture rewind as we unpack the Russia-Alabuga scandal involving South African influencers, the importance of branding and protecting your platform from unsafe or harmful campaigns, and the Love Island reunion where friendship dynamics, partner tensions, and racism took center stage. We also chat about the Scorpion Kings concert, celebrating its huge success while reminding South Africans to support local talent instead of being quick to bash. From influencer culture and brand safety to reality TV drama and music highlights, it’s unfiltered conversations and girl chat, because we said so. ______________________________ CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 02:40 Alabuga Scandal + Protecting Your Audience 23:28 Love Island Reunion + Relationship Discourse 50:24 Scorpion Kings Concert + Unpopular Opinons 58:53 Dilemmas 1:07:34 Musings 1:09:16 Outro ______________________________ Enjoyed the episode?
