Valentine's Day
What does a box of chocolates, a dozen roses, and a heart-shaped card have to do with ancient Roman festivals or the fate of a third-century saint? Valentine's Day, hosted by Criatividade x GM .2, digs beneath the commercial surface of this ubiquitous holiday to explore its tangled roots and surprising evolution. This isn't a simple history lesson; it's a thoughtful examination of how love, in all its forms, gets packaged, sold, and celebrated across centuries and cultures. Each episode unpacks a different layer, from the philosophical underpinnings of romantic devotion to the societal pressures that shape our modern rituals. You'll hear about the obscure legends, the accidental inventions, and the cultural quirks that transformed a minor liturgical day into a global phenomenon. The Valentine's Day podcast asks why we feel compelled to perform affection on a specific date and what that says about us. Join Criatividade x GM .2 for a series of curious, conversational explorations that challenge the expected narratives. This is for anyone who has ever wondered about the strange, sweet, and sometimes contradictory forces that converge every February 14th.
