Gossip As A Loyalty Test
Clarity & Grit by Janice M. Burke
Episode notes
What happens when gossip becomes a test of loyalty?
In this episode, I look at how gossip can be used to pull people into alliances, pressure them to take sides, and shape how they see someone else.
We’ll look at the dynamics underneath it, why people participate, and what it can reveal about group behavior and manipulation.
Clarity & Grit is a podcast about understanding the dynamics of manipulative relationships — romantic, family, friendship, workplace, or otherwise.
