The Overthink Tank

Can Gossip Ever Be Good?

We overthink what makes gossip so irresistible.

Have you ever wondered why we can't resist spilling the tea? What's the reason behind our compulsion to share and consume gossip? Why do we have such an obsessive desire to stay in the loop?

On this episode of The Overthink Tank, your host Surbhi is joined by comedian Govind Menon and Content Creator/Reality Tv Star Vagmita Singh (Social Currency on Netflix).

Together, they overthink how gossip serves as a 'social currency', shaping our relationships and interactions in unexpected ways. And also, the reason why we love to dish it out on gossip reddit threads. IFKYK.

So let's gossip, shall we?

stuff we overthought:

  • Do we gossip to bond socially?
  • The allure of anonymity.
  • The role of gossip on reality television.
  • Gossip as a tool to "network"
  • The indirect harm of gossip.
  • Is Gossip Hardwired in Humans?
