Description

Have you ever been ghosted by someone and wondered to yourself, why?

In this latest episode, Madeleine interviews a ghost who recently sent her an apology via text. As well as getting the chance to ask the reason behind their sudden disappearance six years ago, the episode explores why ghosting has a particular sting, and the ways we can approach the various tensions between things like courtesy and boundaries, expectations and preferences, technology and connection.
