Baby Shoes
Hosted by Alex Lee and Humyara Mahbub · EN
Alex and Hum are two accomplished, funny, beautiful, and humble professional women, who now spend too much time trapped under babies, scrolling on their phones.
What horrors and delights has the algorithm served them while their children sleep? Whose influence are they under this week and what products are they shilling? And what has the internet done to their gorgeous, gorgeous brains?
Join these tired (but hot) mums as they dissect the insane products that have popped up on their feeds that week, and dive into this strange online world where tech, branding, psychology and motherhood collide.
