The Selfie Reflective podcast applies a critical lens to the fraught landscape of social media. From data rights and privacy protection to self-branding and kids online, no two episodes are the same. You’ll hear interviews with ex-influencers, academics, creatives, and thinkers from around the world who share their expertise and bring different perspectives to the status-update quo. By examining both the good and the concerning, we unpack the seductive, individualised experience of social media and hone in on opportunities to leverage it for collective good.

Before you hit publish on that selfie, trick people into that marketing funnel, build that algorithm or search ‘tips for becoming an influencer’—listen to Selfie Reflective.

Some Love:

“I love the way this podcast makes me think. It’s not an ‘anti social media’ approach, which is refreshing. It’s a podcast about understanding our inevitable relationship with life online. Pretty cool Lucy O. I’m on board to see what comes next.”

— Apple Podcast review (USA) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“The in-depth interviews are relatable and injected with personal stories that compel you to reflect on your own experience. Selfie Reflective is an essential dialogue we need to be having in 2020.”

“Lucy brings a smart and provocative point of view to the discussion of our lives online. She really makes you think about social media culture not in an academic of judgemental way - but as part of culture herself. Plus she’s a tonne of fun to listen to!”
