Obsessions: Julia Jacklin On Why TV Talent Shows Should Be Left In The Past

Obsessions: Julia Jacklin On Why TV Talent Shows Should Be Left In The Past

This episode we're joined by Olivia's most played artist of 2020, Julia Jacklin! The musician will be telling us all about her twisted obsession with TV singing competitions. For the first time in the podcast's history, our guest - Julia - will be discussing an obsession that negatively effects her life; as her infatuation with talent shows leaves her isolating friends and family in her quest to talk about them as much as possible. Julia, Ione and Olivia will be discussing how these show misrepresent the music industry, set people up for failure, and manipulate their contestants through sob stories while inflating the egos of the judges involved.


Julia will also be chatting about the personal moment that lead to illusion of these shows was shattered for her, how she still manages to invest herself emotionally in each series, and the effect that constructed reality has on our existences.


Every other week we'll be picking the brain of a different creative about something they admire that has nothing to do with how they generate their income.
