Podcasts about addictive

The case over Google's monopoly is over, and now we wait to see what the penalties might be. Nebraska wants to make social media less addictive for kids with a new law. Germany might tax Facebook and Google more. Microsoft's carbon footprint continues to rise. I did not expect AI slop to be SO popular that now real people are trying to copy AI. And Sony might move XPERIA manufacturing to a third party.

LGBT Tech Policy Director Shae Gardner discusses the House Bill that recently passed that aims to ban certain addictive features on social media for minors.

Dr. Justin Coulson speaks with former Disney executive and GameTruck founder Scott Novis about the hidden dangers of video games—and how parents can help their kids develop a healthy relationship with gaming. From understanding addictive design to replacing screen time with real-world connection, this conversation delivers practical, real-world solutions for every family navigating the digital age. KEY POINTS Addiction by Design: Some game developers deliberately design games using the "hook algorithm" to exploit children’s brain development and keep them playing compulsively. Self-Determination vs. Hooked Gaming: Games built on autonomy, mastery, and relatedness (like Minecraft) build skills and confidence. Hooked games create craving, not satisfaction. 3 Hacks for Safer Gaming: Buy the game (don’t use free-to-play). Play offline (limits tracking and manipulation). Listen to how your child talks about the game (progress = good, frustration = red flag). Ending Game Time Without Conflict: Pre-agree on ending conditions, give non-verbal cues (like flicking the lights), and offer choices that preserve agency. Offline Substitutes Matter: Create "hard to enter, hard to leave" real-life communities (e.g., sports, jiu-jitsu, Dungeons & Dragons) that offer connection, skill-building, and purpose. Social Disconnection: Excessive gaming and screen time can cause “virtual autism” and impair emotional and social development. The Goal: Return to a play-based childhood that prioritises real-world connection, effort, and fun. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “If your child sounds like a victim when they talk about the game—they’re in trouble. If they sound empowered, they’re probably playing a good game.”— Scott Novis RESOURCES MENTIONED Books: The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt Glued to Games by Scott Rigby & Richard Ryan Scattered Minds by Dr. Gabor Maté Miss Connection by Dr. Justin Coulson Websites: https://www.scottnovis.com/ – Scott's personal site gametruck.com – Scott's company for social gaming experiences Article: William Siu's essay in The New York Times on game addiction and design ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Buy Games, Not AddictionsChoose paid games that don’t rely on manipulating your child’s attention or money. Play Offline Whenever PossibleRemove always-on connectivity that allows companies to track and shape behaviour. Ask the Right QuestionsIs your child developing skills—or just chasing random rewards? Listen for signs of empowerment or frustration. Negotiate Game Time Up FrontPre-agree on stop times and methods, give warnings (e.g., flicking lights), and honour your child’s autonomy. Replace, Don’t Just RemoveReplace screen time with rich, social, skill-building real-world activities—like sports, martial arts, tabletop games, or outdoor adventures. No Screens in BedroomsSet screen bedtimes. Keep devices out of reach at night to prevent secret play. Get InvolvedPlay games with your kids—even if you're bad at them. Model effort, learning, and connection. Watch for Red FlagsLook for sleep disruption, secretive behaviour, rage quitting, or declining school performance.

In this episode of ABA On Call, Rick and Doug dissect the behavioral science behind app design, revealing how tech companies use variable reinforcement schedules to hijack user behavior and drive compulsive engagement. Drawing from core principles of behavior analysis, they explore how seemingly harmless interactions, such as likes, swipes, and notifications, are systematically engineered to reinforce usage patterns. The conversation moves beyond theory into the ethical minefield of digital design, especially its impact on children, teens, and vulnerable users. With examples ranging from red-dot alerts to algorithm-driven content loops, the hosts challenge behavior analysts to confront the weaponization of reinforcement and consider their role in advocating for more ethical technology.   To earn CEUs for listening, click here, log in or sign up, pay the CEU fee, + take the attendance verification to generate your certificate!

This episode began with a discussion of 2009 as a watershed year before major belief in diseases tied to genetics began to be replaced by ones tied to mitochondria, food and the role of insulin. Michael Krasny brought up the link of diabetes to genetics and Dr. Bob Lustig indicated that the causation factor is only 15%, whereupon he talked about genes and obesity and different kinds of fat and fat and sugar followed by Krasny asking his reaction to the appointment of Robert F Kennedy Junior as the head of HHS. Dr. Lustig revealed that he refused an offer to head NIH.A listener asked Dr. Lustig about glyphosate in the food supply and another about processed food in school lunches, which prompted Krasny to ask about processed and ultra-processed food. Dr. Lustig spoke of food industry strategies and the USDA. Krasny then asked him about eating habits and lifespan in Japan as well as fructose and calories and Dr. Lustig spoke about body temperature being down in the U.S. and a connection to mitochondrial dysfunction. Krasny went back to an interview he did with Nobel laureate James Watson in which Watson mentioned longevity and his Norwegian mitochondria and Krasny then asked Lustig about sugar and fruit, which prompted Lustig to pinpoint sugar as a primary cause of Alzheimer's and to speak about ways to mitigate fructose. Lustig then spoke of the effects of sugar in a 1953 UK study which followed sugar rationing. Michael Krasny brought up arguments against "the demonization of sugar" and seeing it as toxic and addictive and Dr. Lustig responded with an adamant defense of the dangers of sugar, including its addictive power and its toxicity.

On this special edition of Rhode Island PBS Weekly we take an in-depth look at youth and mental health issues. All of our segments on this episode were generously underwritten by a grant from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island. We begin with Michelle San Miguel's report on the mental health issues that many of the Ocean State's young people struggle with every day. And the role race and sexual orientation plays in their emotional wellbeing. Then, Isabella Jibilian has a report on loneliness and its detrimental physical and mental effects on both the young and the old here in Rhode Island and beyond. Finally, Isabella Jibilian explores how technology that is designed to be addictive can have tragic consequences for kids and teens.

00:46 How fishing activity altered the migration pattern of HerringSelective fishing of older herring has resulted in a large shift in the migration pattern of these fish, according to new research. For years, herring have visited sites on the south coast of Norway to spawn, but in 2020 a rapid shift was seen, with the fish instead visiting areas hundreds of kilometres to the north. Researchers have concluded that too many older fish have been removed from these waters, preventing the knowledge of the best spawning grounds being passed to younger, less experienced fish. This finding shows how human activity can affect animal migration, which could have serious consequences for the delicately balanced ecosystems built around them.Research article: Slotte et al.10:37 Research HighlightsArchaeologists have identified tools that the ancient Maya may have used for tattooing, and the self-assembling stable structures that may help ‘forever chemicals' persist in nature.Research Highlight: Tattoo-making tools used by ancient Maya revealedResearch Highlight: ‘Forever' molecules bunch themselves into cell-like structures13:02 How might AI companions affect users' mental health?AI companions — apps where humans build relationships with computers — are hugely popular, with millions of people around the world using them.

https://eggshelltherapy.com/podcast-blog/2025/04/30/brianearp/In this episode, we discuss- Dr. Brian Earp's prolific academic work in philosophy, psychology, and medical ethics.- how his conservative religious upbringing sparked his curiosity about morality and ethics.- his transition from professional theater to academia and his commitment to a PhD at age 30.- his research on love, obsession, and addiction, and his critique of monogamy as a societal default.- his book Love Drugs and the ethics of using medical technologies to enhance relationships.- ethical challenges in AI, his stance on bodily autonomy.- his current projects on AI, personalized digital tools, and more! Some Quotes from Dr. Earp “Whether it's harmful can be kind of contingent on historical and social attitudes.”“If you think love is about fundamentally wanting to contribute to the flourishing of another person… then the question of whether you should possess them… might not be conducive to their flourishing.” “We should advocate for a view of love according to which it's something that is rooted fundamentally in care and respect.”“Addiction can be part of one's identity… if you cure yourself of this addiction, you almost change who you are.”About Dr. Brian Earp Associate Professor Brian D. Earp, PhD, is director of the Oxford-NUS Centre for Neuroethics and Society (OCNS) and the EARP Lab (Experimental Bioethics, Artificial Intelligence, and Relational Moral Psychology Lab) within the Centre for Biomedical Ethics, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS).

The entire 2nd hour of the show was a throwback to the very first episode of this show ever, I discussed the "7 things men secretly struggle with" the we all deal with but keep to ourselves. 1- the Dad Wound - aka Daddy issues 2- the lack of manhood vision - it is what you don't understand how to be the leader in the house, a good husband, not your kids friends, mental & physical toughness 3- Unprocessed trauma - passed up for promotion, bottled up a past break up, divorce, failure, etc., leads to thoughts of suicide 4- Addictive habits- porn, food, fitness, work, anything that take you away from your family 5- Not enough close friends (6 to be exact) that your family can call and know they'll be paul bearers at your funeral if you died tomorrow. 6- Do you have a friend you can p/u the phone and just trauma dump with? 7- Stop avoiding confrontations

How can you replace porn addiction? The answer is not a mystery. Essentially, it requires you to build the skills of a porn addiction recovery mindset and lifestyle. It also requires consistency.If recovery were a car, these recovery skills would be the engine, and consistency would be the fuel. You can rewire your brain and stop watching porn using these skills and this consistency.You may have achieved a week or two of sobriety at some point. Or even a few months. But would you like to make it a year, 5 years, 10 years, and beyond? How do you maintain focus and motivation to stay sober from porn when times get tough? When you don't feel good enough as a husband or father, when work sucks, life gets overwhelming, you're exhausted or burnt out, you lose something or someone you loved, your wife isn't connecting with you, your kids are testing your patience, or your best intentions end in failure? A car's engine cannot function long-term without regular oil changes. Without these, the engine corrodes, breaks down, and eventually fails. You may know the skills to stay sober. You may have a nice frame, engine, and all the bells and whistles. But if you don't have adequate, clean oil in your engine, you'll never achieve long-term sobriety and truly lose your desire for porn. So, how do you quit porn, avoid porn relapse, and stay sober in tough times? You need oil. BUILD THE NO MORE PORN LIFESTYLEFREE WORKSHOP: The 8 Keys to Lose Your Desire for PornFREE EBOOK: The 10 Tools to Conquer Porn CravingsSchedule a Free ConsultationBuy Me a CoffeeMORE ARTICLESThe Neuroscience of Quitting Porn: Build a New BrainHow Do I Stop My Husband from Watching Porn?My Wife Ignores My Progress with Porn Addiction: Navigating Relationship StrugglesSelf-Control & Porn Addiction | Why Willpower Always FailsWhy Doesn't God Take My Porn Addiction?Christianity and Porn Addiction | How to Overcome Sexual & Religious ShameHow to Tell Your Wife About Your Porn RelapseMUSIC: Bensound.comDELOSound from PixabayMikhail Smusev from PixabaySupport the showNo More Desire

Interview with Vandana Sharma, MD

In this episode of the Recover to Flourish podcast, I'm exploring something many people don't talk about – the addiction to feeling hungry. If you've ever felt a sense of control or comfort from hunger, this episode is for you. As someone who's walked through eating disorder recovery, I know how an eating disorder can become addictive in ways that go beyond the food itself. In this episode, I'll talk about why hunger can feel like a source of security, how this pattern develops, and why it's so challenging to break free. I'll also share some tips on how to start healing this addictive cycle and reconnect with your body's true needs. Recovery isn't easy, but I'm here to support you as we tackle this together!SOCIALS:Instagram: @flourishwithciandra @recovertoflourish_podTikTok: @flourishwithciandraWebsite: https://flourishwithciandra.com/Contact: info@flourishwithciandra.com

A school principal is warning that just as we're starting to make progress towards reducing the number of young people vaping, we could soon be dealing with something even worse. There's an emerging craze of highly-addictive nicotine pouches that are placed under the lip and absorbed in the mouth, commonly sold under the brand name ZYN. Louise Ternouth reports.

Lester Munson, lawyer and former Sports Illustrated and ESPN sportswriter, joins Karen Conti and Patrick Dolan, Karen’s partner at Conti and Dolan, to talk about the dangers of sports gambling and how addictive it can be. Then Lester discusses whether or not Pete Rose should be in the Hall of Fame.

Do we have a right to night? Dana thinks so. We also have a right to health and there is more and more evidence that light at night can be detrimental to our health, and to the environment. Dana applies her legal expertise to her books, articles, essays, and speaking engagements to change people's ideas around the environment and light pollution. Dana Zartner is a teacher, lawyer and writer whose work centers on the use of international, and comparative law as tools for social justice advocacy with an emphasis on environmental justice, the right to a healthy environment, Indigenous rights, sustainable development, and the rights of Nature. A professor at the University of San Francisco, she has published numerous articles and essays on these topics, including the recent "The Right to the Night: New Legal Advocacy Strategies to Address Terrestrial Light Pollution" in Environs. She also has a book coming out with Island Press on March 4, 2025 entitled Standing for Nature: Legal Strategies for Environmental Justice, which examines existing rights of Nature laws around the world with an eye to cresting legal advocacy strategies for future endeavors. In addition to her academic work, Dana has served as an accredited representative at various UN meetings, including the Committee on Women's Rights in New York and the Expert Mechanisms on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Geneva. She has also done pro bono work with the One Million Tree campaign in Cambodia and in support of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band's efforts to protect their traditional lands in Santa Clara County. Outside of her day job, Dana enjoys the natural beauty of Northern California, writes travel essays with an environmental theme, plays with her cats, and is working on a novel.

In this engaging episode, Owen O'Kane, a psychotherapist, former palliative care specialist, and ex-NHS clinical lead for mental health, shares his professional journey and deeply personal story. He reflects on his transition from nursing in palliative care to training as a psychotherapist, a shift inspired by witnessing the profound psychological distress many patients faced. Owen also opens up about his upbringing in Northern Ireland during the Troubles and the personal struggles of coming out as gay in a Catholic family. He highlights how his lived experiences shape his therapeutic approach, emphasising the power of empathy, trauma awareness, and emotional resilience in mental health care. Drawing from his latest book, Addicted to Anxiety, Owen introduces the concept that anxiety can function like an addiction, offering a false sense of safety while keeping individuals trapped in cycles of fear. He discusses practical strategies for managing anxiety, including learning to acknowledge, accept, and even befriend the anxious self rather than resisting it. His insights provide a fresh and compassionate perspective on understanding anxiety, helping listeners develop greater self-awareness and healthier coping mechanisms to break free from its grip.

If someone takes a substance or engages in an activity that provides temporary pleasure, but it becomes compulsive and interferes with ordinary life responsibilities, he or she is said to be an addict. Addictive behavior is widespread and is one of the reasons people turn to Christ. But even those who follow Christ can tend toward addictive behavior. We were born with a sinful nature. When we're born again and have a new nature, sometimes the battle is fiercer than ever. How can we find help?I. We Have a StandardII. We Face a StruggleIII. We Use a Strategy  A. Reason  B.

From advertising exec to America's storyteller-in-chief: prolific author James Patterson shares his blueprint for turning creative chaos into literary gold. What We Discuss with James Patterson: Highly prolific author James Patterson maintains success through daily consistency — writing 350-365 days per year, getting up at 5:30 a.m., and viewing his work as "playing" rather than working. This dedication has led to over 400 million books sold. James' creative process involves extensive outlining (60-80 pages) but staying flexible within that structure. He keeps multiple projects (around 30) going simultaneously and moves between them if he gets stuck on one. James' breakthrough moment came when he realized he was "on the wrong side of the highway" — stuck in advertising traffic heading to a job he didn't want, while watching others freely driving in the opposite direction. This led him to leave his successful advertising career to write full-time. James' writing philosophy focuses on respecting the reader's time by following Leonard Elmore's advice to "leave out the parts people skip" and ensuring each chapter compels readers to turn the page. He emphasizes storytelling over showing off literary prowess. Anyone can improve their writing and creativity by breaking tasks into manageable pieces: if you're stuck, skip to another section and come back later; don't get too attached to any particular piece of writing; and remember that first drafts don't need to be perfect — you can always revise and refine your work as you go along.
