Welcome back to another episode of The Things You Can't Touch podcast !

In this episode, I am joined by the brilliant @kimcommentary from TikTok to unpack a big question: is social media activism actually effective ? From hashtags to viral campaigns, we dig into whether online movements translate into real-world change, and where the limits of digital activism might be.

Kim is also one of the incredible guests joining me live on stage at the TTYCT Live Show on 29th August in East London. If you have ever wanted to be in the room where these conversations happen, this is your chance. Come for the philosophy, stay for the community.
