Seed Of The Day: This episode is a response to Beyoncé & Eminem's new song "Walk on Water," a lyrical message to the fans that the artists are not God, and that people should not "believe in them, the way that they do." This prompted us to question and discuss the line between idolization and admiration of a celebrity, and why this is or isn't problematic for society.
