The Skin You're In: My Skin, My Power With Shelby Lorman aka @awardsforgoodboys

The internet is harder to navigate than ever before. From fake news and hateful vitriol, to censorship and shadow-bans, sometimes spending all our time online feels impossibly claustrophobic. ⁣ We sat down with @awardsforgoodboys — aka Shelby Lorman to discuss how the URL world is mutating into a strange, dark place. We delve deep how the way we interact with each other within the online world is changing, what it means to perform 'goodness' online, and how do we differentiate between honest intentions and the desire to one-up each other.


This is the fifth and penultimate episode of our brand new limited podcast series, The Skin You're In! Each week, for six weeks, we'll be exploring what it means to be alive today, and the biggest issues affecting our generation. From period poverty to body positivity, gender, disability, feminism and race, we want to know where the conversations are at, and what we can do to move them forward.
