S1:E6 Shunned and Shamed with Hilary Freeman (Part One)

Sabina Brennan chats to award-winning journalist, novelist and agony aunt Hilary Freeman about being publicly shamed online for an article she wrote about finding the balance between health messaging around obesity and the body positivity movement. As we chat we try to understand how social media went from a wonderful sharing, connected, caring community to an online mob.
