Are We The Slop? The End of Reading & CougarTok

Are We The Slop? The End of Reading & CougarTok

Hello EICupcakes!


We have a very special episode this week. Earlier this month we were blessed to do our very first live event at Cheltenham and this is everything we spoke about...


First-up, are we the slop? A Substack essay piqued our interest as it argued outside of AI, our special moments – engagements, pregnancies, grief – have been reduced to someone else's low quality content.


Secondly, are we heading for a post-literate society? Reading rates are down significantly. What do we lose if we lose reading?


Finally, welcome to CougarTok – a new world for 30-somethings dating men in their 20s and *loving* it.


TYSM for listening, love R, O, B xxxxxx


In collaboration with Cue Podcasts.
