The way young people build relationships looks nothing like it used to. A new trend called "Soulmanyships" is replacing the old model of one person meeting every emotional need. Today's generation is spreading their connections across friends, family, and even AI companions. Is this shift creating loneliness or a more honest way to connect? / Heart to Heart - please send your emails audio questions to roundtablepodcast@qq.com (11:56). On the show: Steve, Yushan & Yushun

  • Discussion keeps the world turning.

  • This is Roundtable.

  • You're tuned in to Roundtable.

  • I'm Steve Hatherly.

  • Today with Yushan and Yusha.

  • Coming up, you've heard other people say it and you've probably said it yourself.

  • He's my best friend.

  • She's my best friend.

  • If you go through your life and you have one, you're lucky.

  • If you have two, well, you'd be really lucky.

  • But what if today's young people are choosing something totally different?

  • On today's Soapbox, we're exploring a fascinating idea called Soul Many Ships,

  • where instead of one person filling every need, your best friend,

  • you have different people for different parts of your life.

  • And that includes AI.

  • Is that lonelier or is it more honest?

  • After that, if you have something on your mind and you'd like to share it with us,

  • we have the perfect place for it.

  • It's called Heart to Heart and it's on the way.

  • And today we have a couple of messages to share.
