"Panic World" never minimizes memes' potential to mutate into full-blown moral frenzies, but each episode ends with sage advice: the only way to stay sane in today's internet era is to log off and "touch grass." Weekly episodes are available on all your usual podcast platforms, but those already cursed with terminal brain rot won't regret ponying up for the Patreon subscription. -- Kelby
For a teenager struggling with their weight, a weight-loss camp could seem like a silver bullet: go away for a few weeks and come back transformed. However, the reality wasn't as simple as that. "Camp Shame" dissects the history of the long-running Camp Shane, a so-called "fat camp" that ran for over 50 years before abruptly shuttering in 2021. Host Kelsey Snelling talks to former campers and staff who had disordered habits pushed on them under the guise of health, and unearths the dysfunction behind the scenes that put campers at risk and ultimately led to the camp's downfall. This series spoke to me as someone who, as a teenager during peak mid-aughts diet culture, would sometimes wonder what it might be like to go to a place like Camp Shane -- turns out, it was probably for the best I never did. -- Jillian
