As for The Catch Up, that seemingly is rota’d with just about anyone who wants to have a go - and it speaks to a much wider trend through the broadcast industry at the moment, particularly content aimed at young people. There is seemingly this accepted idea that to appeal to Gen Z, this content should be hosted by people whose style is “rough round the edges” as it’s more authentic. The problem is, it’s also sh*t.
The problem goes back to my generations' tendency to be gullible. Online scandals & conspiracies spread like wildfire before anything can be verified because most tend to believe any headline they read.
