A podcast about Love Island and its Discontents. Tune in weekly as we explore the psychopathology of everyday TV. Since 2016 three stars from Love Island UK have committed suicide; did the island kill them or did we send them there to die? Is there really any water between the island and the mainland? Theme music by Thomas William Smith Logo by Studio Vinciguerra

At some point we also muddle our way through th…

We got pretty serious for this one... erudite even; while trying to crack the algorithm of love. We talked about the difference between wanting, and "wanting to want", how the love-couple can elevate even the shittiest individuals, and about the different approaches to breaking-up.Oleh Sam and Alana

In this epi we rate philosophers by hotness, talk about neuroscience and psychoanalysis, and discuss whether it’s possible to know what love is (cf. Foreigner). It takes us 41 mins of ancillary discussion to get to direct Love Island commentary though we would argue it’s all relevant; like why is Sophie so dedicated to the relationship with Tom whe…
