Outside Politics by Kieran Allen

Episode notes

Body appearance is hyped up in modern capitalism. Being 'attractive' is supposed to lead to greater 'confidence'. But there are beauty standards to live up to - standards which constantly change and which are often unattainable. This episode looks at how the global beauty industry manipulates our desires and feelings.
