Let's face it - we haven't been living in the most sustainable way. From using single-use utensils, to relying on online shopping and amassing so much packaging, there are so many things that we need to improve on. But what is stopping us from kicking these habits? In this episode of IMO, we confess how much waste we dispose of on a day-to-day basis, and what more we can do to lead a more sustainable life.
At Singapore’s current rate of waste generated, our one and only Semakau Landfill is expected to be fully filled by 2035. While we have been contributing to the waste problem, we can also be the solution! Click on the links in bio to find out how you can be part of 'Say YES to Waste Less' (SYTWL) solution:

"You're a late bloomer" is just an example of what some evergreen people hear constantly, along with "Your time will come" and "It will come when you least expect it".

In this episode of IMO, Estee shares about her experience being single her whole life, and the emotional ups and downs that come with it.

Logan Paul has recently got into some drama again after YouTuber Coffeezilla's three part exposé about Logan Paul's failed crypto project CryptoZoo. Despite many believing Logan to be on a redemption arc since his incident in Japan, the infamous YouTuber seems to be always involved in controversy. Do people truly change? In this episode of IMO, we discuss if cancelled influencers such as Logan Paul deserve a second chance, and how that second chance looks like.
*UPDATE* It was mentioned in the podcast that Logan Paul has lost a million subscribers from this saga, this is incorrect. He has not lost or gained subscribers according to Social Blade. Sorry for the mistake.
He has also now released a second video about his refund plan for CryptoZoo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAjggQvFc20

One Week Love is TSL's brand new hit reality show, garnering over 100K views on every single episode in the season. But with views, came its fair share of controversy due to the behaviour of some participants. In this episode of IMO, we invited the director of One Week Love, Julian, to share a bit more about what are the hidden struggles behind producing a reality show, and the moral dilemmas faced as a producer and editor of such content.
"Live everyday like it's your last day", the stereotypical motivational speaker advice that we all have heard but probably haven't heeded. But what if you really only had 24 more hours to live?

In this episode of IMO, we discuss our thoughts on race swapping, and explore why the Internet has responded so strongly against them.
Titus Low and his wife, Cheryl Chin, recently got into a bit of drama with Pui Yi following a suggestive TikTok which Titus filmed with Pui Yi.
