Subscribe to Survive: Black Mirror's Common People
Podcast: BanterlyPublished On: Wed Apr 23 2025
Description: This week, it’s a short and sweet dive into one of the most talked-about episodes from the new season of Black Mirror. Aidan explores the premiere’s central question: what if our lives were run by subscription? The episode follows a couple, Mike and Amanda, as they grapple with a brain-implant tech from a company called River Mind—where tiered subscriptions literally shape their reality. Aidan draws sharp parallels to real-world services like Peacock, Amazon Prime, and dating apps, unpacking just how deeply subscription culture has embedded itself into our lives.
