About This Podcast

Is Instagram harder to quit than smoking? Can you ever get rich from gambling? Is it ever ok to masturbate to Facebook photos? In VICE UK's new podcast, we attempt to answer the questions that Google can't. Questions with complicated, messy answers. It's called "Yeah, But It's Not As Simple As That" because nothing is as straightforward as it seems.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
