Join us to discuss this month's listening list topic: Parasocial Relationships. These are one-sided connections where individuals form emotional bonds with media figures, celebrities, or fictional characters without any reciprocal interaction. In our digital age, where social media and online content dominate, understanding these relationships is crucial as they profoundly impact our perceptions, emotions, and behaviors. From the comforting familiarity of a favorite podcast host to the deep admiration for a beloved influencer, parasocial relationships shape how we connect with the world around us. The playlist episodes explore how these bonds form, their psychological effects, and their broader implications for our social lives and mental health.
