Podcasts about Media consumption

In this repeat episode we are questioning whether the digital world is quietly reshaping our kids' mental health. TikTok and Instagram have become more than just apps—they're spaces where our kids compare themselves, perform for others, and figure out who they are. What they see and how they engage with that content can affect everything from anxiety and self-worth to sleep and overall well-being.As parents, our job isn't to shame or scare them away from social media—it's to help them understand it and navigate it with intention. Because if we're not teaching our kids how to be socially media literate, the algorithm will be doing the teaching for us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of The Other Side of the Firewall, hosts Ryan, Shannon, and Chris dissect a trending security report detailing how a low-skilled attacker easily hijacked a Claude AI instance to breach 14 companies by simply tricking the AI's guardrails. The team then shifts gears to discuss a new Senate NDAA proposal offering up to $100,000 in CMMC grants to help small defense contractors manage the steep costs of compliance, followed by a fiery debate on whether the rise of part-time, "fractional" CISOs is a smart budget move or a dangerous trend fueled by executive burnout and SEC liability fears. Finally, the crew decompresses by sharing their recent personal highlights, diving into everything from Italian cheese wheels and intense kettlebell training to the latest anime and running Cyberpunk 2077 via cloud gaming.

The LSE Middle East Centre hosted a Kuwait Programme workshop, presenting research on the influence of social media on food-consumption behaviours in Kuwait. Kuwait is experiencing public health challenges driven by rising rates of non-communicable nutrition-related diseases such as diabetes and obesity. According to the World Bank, the prevalence of diabetes in Kuwait increased tenfold between 2000 and 2021, with approximately 25% of Kuwaiti adults now affected. Adding to this issue is the widespread social media culture in Kuwait surrounding food photography. There is a significant trend among individuals, as well as social media influencers, to share food-related content on platforms. The extensive use of digital platforms, combined with Kuwait's unique social media culture, offer new and unique avenues for studying how online content and interactions might shape food-consumption behaviours. This research addresses the influence of social media on food-consumption behaviours in Kuwait. Meet our speakers Fabrício M. Fialho is Assistant Professor of Sociology at HSE University and Research Fellow at the LSE International Inequalities Institute. His current work has focused on public opinion research and quantitative research methods. Abrar Al Hasan is an Associate Professor of Information Systems and Operations Management at the College of Business Administration, Kuwait University. Her research interests include Social Media and Social Networks, Health IT, Online Markets, Digital Innovations, Crowdsourcing, and the Economics of Information Systems.

The unifying youth culture across the Arab region is characterized by a proud new Arab identity and the changing standards of beauty with the rise of "Arab beauty" (A beauty), which celebrates Arab features and aesthetics. The founder of Mille World and Mille Creative, Sofia Guellaty, talks about her journey launching the first Arab youth platform in the Arab world, the role of media professionals as "editors of conversations," and the emergence of a new, proud Arab identity among both Gen Z and millennials. She discusses how she uses fashion and pop culture as a tool for "soft power" to talk about liberation, representation, and diversity, moving away from superficial content. She reflects on her early career, her shift from being fascinated by the West to "unbashedly proud to be Arab," and the challenges faced by Arab talent, including visa issues and the lack of an Arab-centric market. The conversation also delves into how her platform, Mille World, aims to address the lack of authentic Arab youth representation by giving a voice to young creatives who want to define their own stories, not be perceived through a "western gaze". Explore Mille World

Send Wilk a text with your feedback!Episode 293 with guest Nathan StockIn this episode, Wilk sits down with international conflict-resolution specialist Nathan Stock, a man with more than 20 years of experience working to reduce violence and strengthen democracy around the world. Nathan shares how his journey began as an English teacher in Gaza during the Al-Aqsa Intifada — an experience that taught him how quickly societies can shift from tension to full-scale conflict.Nathan explains the unsettling parallels he now sees in American political polarization: declining trust in institutions, tribal media bubbles, and the growing tendency to view political opponents as evil rather than human. But he also emphasizes the hopeful part: we still have agency, and personal relationships across difference remain one of the strongest antidotes to toxic polarization.Topics include: • Lessons from living through violent conflict • Why good people can be driven to do bad things • The role of media consumption in shaping our “reality” • Declining trust in institutions • How everyday citizens can help reduce political hostility • Building cross-partisan relationships that humanize, not demonizeLearn more about and connect with Nathan Stock by getting the full show notes at www.DerateTheHate.com.The world is a better place if we are better people.

You ever have the feeling what you see on the news and socials is exactly and only what they want you to hear? Yeah, me too. Turns out it's true. Very rarely do you get the full story so you can make your own informed decisions. And, this practice is skewing and distorting the way we view and interact with the world. My guest today, Jeremy Carey – Founder of IRONCLAD, knows exactly what this is about and in his new series (partnered with Shawn Ryan), Target Intelligence: Psyop, they unpack exactly how this is happening in every aspect of life. We talk about what he calls the "Forgotten Audience" and the "Doer Class," the power of telling good stories – accurately, why authenticity is the key to success in an inauthentic world, and understanding the "Education-to-Entertainment" ratio in consuming content.

He is a columnist for The Times and has been a Senior Editor on the Economist.

Lucas argues that these actions are not new but represent a continuance of tactics used by the Kremlin to destabilize and challenge Western decision-making and social cohesion. Despite the clear evidence of Russia's aggressive maneuvers, he believes that the West is not adequately prepared, displaying a peacetime mentality even in the face of ongoing threats. The conversation also highlights the importance of accurately interpreting these threats without falling into paranoia and emphasizes the need for a strategic, calibrated response rather than reactive measures. Lucas calls for stronger support for Ukraine and argues for seizing frozen Russian assets to fund Ukrainian defense. He concludes with a powerful message about the necessity of shifting from a reactive to a proactive stance in dealing with Russia's multifaceted threats.----------CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction to Edward Lucas and His Insights on Putin00:36 Current Issues: Drone Flights and Kremlin Denials01:06 Historical Context: Kremlin's Pattern of Denial02:07 Analyzing the Scale and Intensity of Incursions02:53 Sweden's Experience with Sabotage and Disruption04:48 Psychological Warfare and Cognitive Resilience06:20 Media Consumption and Bias Detection09:15 NATO's Response and Strategic Considerations13:32 Escalation Dominance and Political Attacks19:08 Reflexive Control and US Politics20:44 Urgency in Re-Arming and Defense Strategies25:25 Conclusion: Supporting Ukraine and Final Thoughts----------
