Episode 104: Parasocial Penguin

THIS WEEK... JP and Father Chuck discuss the phenomenon of parasocial relationships, and how potent they have become since the advent of the internet personality. Father Chuck tries extremely hard, with much difficulty, to identify with those who find themselves in a parasocial relationship, while JP fully admits that, yeah, he's totally in more than a few. We also learn the tragic tale of the Parasocial Penguin, Grape-kun, and a brief rundown on our fascination with the Milkshake Duck (the duck is racist, sorry). If you'd like to pursue a parasocial relationship with The Masters of Divinity, listening to all of our episodes and becoming a patron on our Patreon is a great place to start! https://www.patreon.com/MastersOfDivinity If you're interested in a much deeper dive into Parasocial Relationships, check out the documentary "Fake Friends" by Shannon Strucci of StrucciMovies on YouTube. https://youtu.be/KLA-uFKjQ-g
