ANTI SOCIAL, SOCIAL MEDIA

YouTube. A land full of beauty vloggers, click-bait captions and “how to” tutorials with ukulele music looped underneath... unless you’re these girls. Chi With A C and Bambino Becky are two girls making serious waves in the YouTube comedy scene right now. Both wracking up way over 100,000 subscribers each, by creating some of the most bizarre (accidentally Skyping BBC News / recreating an entire episode of friends on your own / travelling up to London purely to confront Piers Morgan) and hilarious videos online right now. But with the growth in subscribers, comes a growth in both pressure, and anxiety. Chi and Becky open up to Sam and Charlie all about YouTube, the YouTube community itself, the sexism routed in the comedy industry, and why / how / what happened when Chi Skyped the news during a Brexit interview.

Have you ever wondered if the person you are speaking to online is really the person you think they are?

Well. our next guest knows all about this from her time on the Channel 4 show The Circle, everyone was fooled by Alex/Kate and it opened people's eyes to how trusting we can be.

Catfish situations are dangerous and Sian chats to Sam and Charlie all about this.
