Episode 34
Thursday, 8 January, 2026
Welcome to HEART REACTS, an advice podcast for all of us trying to remain emotionally functional through the collapse of late capitalism. We're back, we survived the holidays, and we have some thoughts on emotional libertarianism to share with you. Some of you have asked what we mean by this term, which we've used occasionally, so we took the opportunity to dig into it a little bit. And then, we answer a question about what it means to be a romantic, anyway.We need your questions!!
