Thank you to BRITA for supporting the podcast, helping us keep our deep dives going, and, of course, keeping us hydrated!Check out BRITA here: ⁠https://www.brita.com.au/This episode explores if accountability can actually be enforced online. From Couch Guy to the Coldplay CEO scandal to various celebrity scandals, we break down how accountability culture has evolved into a tool for public shaming, who bears the heaviest burden of that shame, and why the people causing the most harm are often the least likely to face consequences.

Welcome to Touch Grass, a mini series where we explore the implications of being chronically online with the creatives who can’t escape it.In this episode, host Lauren Meisner interviews Sami Jenkins— a video producer, content creator, and founder of Wilty Meetups, a grassroots community that creates safe spaces for connection.Through this conversation, Sami takes us through her unexpected venture into content creation, navigating an extroverted industry as an introvert, and how she’s become a community facilitator for other socially anxious young people in Melbourne.Touch Grass is brought to you by BRITA: www.brita.com.au⁠/ Find our podcast YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC18HclY7Tt5-1e3Z-MEP7Jg Subscribe to our weekly Substack: https://centennialworld.substack.com/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/infinitescrollpodcast/ Follow Lauren on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurenmeisner_/
