YOUNG IN LOVEWHY I POSTED MY VIRGIN BLOOD ft. Newly Wed, Engr. Izuchi & Mrs Mary

This show is about love and relationships from a Gen Z perspective. In this episode, the host talks to a new bride who went viral with a picture of her "virgin blood" on social media. Society places high values on virginity before marriage and she believed she had to show and prove it. This explores the weight of this sort of belief and the impression it leaves on those who experience it.

🎤This week in Podcast The Newsletter, Lauren writes, "Did Titanic Sink? is a comedy conspiracy podcast. But there’s earnestness in it, too. Tim Batt is making an argument that the ship we believe to be the Titanic did not sink, and is extending his case throughout a series where he tries to convince his friend Carlo Ritchie that he’s right. He gets feedback from friends about how the argument is going."
