Ever wondered why everyone’s obsessed with Temu, Shein, and tiny collectible toys?

Professor Chengsi Wang from Monash University joins us in the cereal box to unpack the world of online shopping. We dive into how social media and influencer culture are shaping our spending, the psychology behind collectible crazes like Sonny Angels and Labubu, and whether those “massive discounts” are really as good as they seem. 

Presenters: Sam Kelly, Brody Roper and Rubey Philip

Executive Producer: Harper Pestinger

We're live weekdays on SYN from 7:30am 📻
