Double Tap · When Relationships Become Digital Performance with Matt Klein
In this Double Tap episode, we’re joined by cultural strategist and writer Matt Klein to examine what happens when relationships move onto digital stages. We unpack performance, constant visibility, the loss of backstage space, dating apps, and AI intimacy, and how these systems shape how we show up with others and with ourselves. This conversation isn’t about opting out, but about seeing the systems we’re inside of more clearly.

DOUBLE TAP · Identity, Community, and Choosing Safety with Van Newman
Writer, designer, and cultural strategist Van Neumann joins Olivia and Tori to explore what it takes to feel safe enough to be honest — online, offline, and within ourselves. From their shift from creative strategist to screenwriter, to leaving the U.S. in pursuit of safety and presence, Van shares how identity, digital infrastructure, and community intertwine. Together they unpack the limits of platform-based belonging, the difference between friendship and organized community, and how creative evolution can be both public and private. This episode invites listeners to slow down, ask why more often, and imagine smaller, more human ways of staying connected in a system that’s always asking for more.
