Podcasts about Scrolling

Bryan from Demon Erasers is back for a much-anticipated follow up to chat about a bunch of otherworldly things that are right in his demon-exorcising wheelhouse! Testimony of portals in the woods, AI-generated material gets dismissed as worthy of intellectual property protection, and whatever else pops up along the way. Scrolling through reels, answering messages, and crackin' jokes in the second half, leading this month's Flipside appearance on the Matt Christiansen show.

What really happens inside one of the most powerful companies in the world?This week, we sit down with Brian Boland, a former senior leader at Facebook (pre-Meta), who spent more than a decade helping build and scale Facebook and Instagram's advertising systems — and later testified in court about what he saw.Brian was in the courtroom for nearly five hours. In this candid conversation, he pulls back the curtain on:What it feels like to testify under oath against your former companyHow Meta's internal culture shifted after whistleblowers like Frances Haugen spoke outThe reality of Mark Zuckerberg's power inside the company — and why the board can't remove himHow algorithms are built, tested, and optimized — and why even engineers don't fully understand their long-term impactsWhether Meta is truly incentivized to limit teen usageThe truth about ad revenue from minorsHow accurate age-estimation technology really is — and why that mattersWhat whistleblowing actually costs the people who do itBrian doesn't call for the end of social media. In fact, he believes these platforms could be built to strengthen communities. But he's clear: the current incentives — profit, growth, daily active users — drive decisions that put engagement above safety.He also shares what he told executives, including Mark Zuckerberg, before he left — and the response he received.If you've ever wondered:Are these platforms intentionally habit-forming?Do they really know how young users are?Could they reduce harm if they wanted to?Why don't more insiders speak out?This episode is essential listening.It's a rare, inside look at how power, profit, algorithms, and accountability collide — and what it might actually take to force change.The Heat is On...Big Tech on Trial is an investigative mini-series by Scrolling 2 Death, in partnership with Heat Initiative.Video Editing expertly provided by Jacob Meade.Research mentioned in the episode: Social media platforms generate billions of dollars in revenue from U.S. youth: Findings from a simulated revenue model (Raffoul article)

In dieser Folge geht es um eine Debatte, die aktuell Gesellschaft und Politik gleichermaßen bewegt. Zwischen Verboten, Bildschirmzeiten und Alarmismus stellen wir eine andere Frage: Was macht das Smartphone eigentlich mit unserer Arbeitswelt? Wenn junge Menschen nie gelernt haben, digitale Inhalte kritisch zu reflektieren, sondern mit 24/7-Scrolling sozialisiert wurden – wie beeinflusst das ihre Arbeitsweise? Ihre Konzentration? Ihre Effizienz? Und was passiert mit unserem Denken, wenn wir für immer mehr Aufgaben auf KI-Tools wie ChatGPT zurückgreifen? Werden wir dadurch produktiver – oder vielleicht sogar denkfaul? Verlieren wir Kompetenzen, die wir früher selbstverständlich trainiert haben? Zu Gast ist Dr. Laura Wünsch, Neurowissenschaftlerin, Gründerin von Neuroscience Consulting und Autorin des Buches "Kopfsalat & Bauchgefühle“. Gemeinsam werfen wir einen wissenschaftlich fundierten Blick auf Mediennutzung, Aufmerksamkeit, kognitive Leistungsfähigkeit und die Frage, wie wir in einer digitalen Dauerreiz-Umgebung gesund und leistungsfähig bleiben.

This week, we're joined by Meta whistleblower Brian Boland, who appeared as a witness in this trial, and law student Christine Almadjian, who has spent hours inside the courtroom watching this case unfold. Christine is also a legislative consultant with END OSEAC.Thousands of families, school districts, and dozens of states have filed consolidated lawsuits against TikTok, YouTube, Meta, and Snap Inc., alleging their platforms were deliberately designed to addict and harm children. Some are calling this “the tobacco trial of our generation.”The first case centers on Kaley — a child like yours and mine — facing the most powerful companies in the world.This week, YouTube's VP of Engineering defended the algorithm as internal documents revealed research linking excessive use to addiction, sleep disruption, anxiety, depression, and body image issues — along with features like autoplay designed to increase watch time. We heard testimony that kids using YouTube while logged out are treated like adults, with no safety features enabled.A data expert challenged Meta and YouTube's reported ad revenue from minors, citing “significant errors and contradictions,” followed by testimony from Kaley's therapist.Then Kaley took the stand.She described creating multiple accounts to like her own videos and posts, sneaking her phone at night, spending up to 16 hours a day on Instagram, feeling panic without her device — and still, at 20 years old, struggling to stop. When asked whether she had addiction, anxiety, depression, or body dysmorphia before social media, her answer was simple: no.Meta and YouTube pushed back hard, pointing to family conflict and school bullying. In just a few weeks, the jury will decide if social media was a subsantial factor in her mental heath struggles.This case isn't just about one family. It's about millions of kids — and what happens next affects all of us.The Heat is On...Big Tech on Trial is an investigative mini-series by Scrolling 2 Death, in partnership with Heat Initiative.Video Editing expertly provided by Jacob Meade.

In this episode, Greg and I covered everything from LASIK stories and gym culture to CGMs and deloads, but the real theme was intentional living. We both did an unplanned digital detox over the weekend — no social media, no constant email checking, no reacting to every notification. And nothing broke. Sales still came in. Emails could wait. What we gained instead was presence — with family, with training, with real life.Phones have become the adult pacifier. Scrolling doesn't solve anxiety, boredom, or stress — it just numbs it. Time is the only non-renewable resource we have. If you're physically present but mentally tethered to your device, you're absent. So I'm doubling down on boundaries: batching emails, no reactive mornings, fewer distractions, more depth. When you remove noise, you amplify what actually matters.We also talked training — a strategic deload using machines to reduce CNS fatigue while keeping intensity high — and my current CGM experiment. Heavy training spikes glucose slightly. OMAD with high fat? Flat line. Data reinforces the philosophy: adequate fat stabilizes the response. And no, I didn't promote high fat to sell Keto Bricks — I built Keto Brick because I needed it first. Which is fitting, because March marks eight years since launch. Eight years of refining, leveling up, and doing the work.Key Takeaways:Digital detox creates clarity and presence.Most “urgent” communication isn't actually urgent.Boundaries protect your time and energy.Strategic deloads can increase long-term performance.High-fat OMAD keeps glucose remarkably stable (for me).Standards matter in natural bodybuilding — pro cards should be earned.Talk is cheap. Execution wins.Next episode we'll be reporting back post–Tough Mudder — cold, muddy, and better for it.Greg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ

Reps. David Scott (D-GA) and Tom Suozzi (D-NY) appeared to “doze off” during Donald Trump's SOTU address. On our radar this week… “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”  – George Orwell, “1984” We opened last week's podcast with those words from Orwell's prescient dystopian novel. On Tuesday, Donald Trump lived those words in a gibbering, rambling, bitter, divisive, partisan, and lie-filled one-hour 47-minute diatribe. The speech was boycotted by dozens of Democrats … and a majority of the U.S. Supreme Court and, based on the TV ratings, the majority of Americans. Newly elected Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger, in the official Democratic response, summed up Trump in one biting paragraph: “…who benefits from his rhetoric, his policies, his actions, the short list of laws he’s pushed through this Republican Congress? Somebody must be benefiting. He’s enriching himself, his family, his friends. The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. There’s the coverup of the Epstein files, the crypto scams cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes and billionaires for ballrooms, putting his name and face on buildings all over our. Nations capital. This is not what our founders envisioned. Not by a long shot. So I’ll ask again. Is the president working for you? We all know the answer is no.” Ryan Garza – Detroit Free Press A day later, Governor Whitmer offered her 8th and final State of the State assessment: realistic, grounded in reality, and a reflection of someone whose approval rating is 15 points higher than Trump's. Multiple polls show a stunning 60+ percent of Americans say Trump sucks while Whitmer's approval has consistently been in the low-to-mid 50's. Whitmer's speech focused on “kitchen table” issues: affordability, medical debt, housing and literacy. She somehow forgot to label Republicans as “Low IQ”, “Crazy”, “Lunatics” or responsible for all of Michigan's problems … she didn't even once blame anything on Rick Snyder … but she did take the opportunity to brag about Michigan athletes dominating the U.S. medal count at the Olympics. And she even high-fived House Speaker MAGA Matt Hall for working collaboratively on sick-time legislation! The contrasts between those two speeches frame this week's discussion. Later in the podcast, we are joined by two anti-authoritarian experts to discuss an issue facing many American families and neighbors: how we can talk with each other in this era of often-angry partisan divisions – and why it is critical that we do. We've all been there. Going to the Sunday family dinner that always devolves into a debate about Trump. A few of my extended family members are MAGA to the point where we avoid politics completely. Scrolling through Facebook and encountering that childhood friend whose feed has become a minefield of MAGA memes. For a decade, the conventional wisdom for surviving the American political divide has been “don't go there.” We've treated political topics like radioactive waste—best left buried for the sake of the relationship. The folks at the Democracy Investment Fund think that silence is costing us more than we realize. Their new free app, LSTN2U, is a bet on a radical idea: that we can actually talk to each other again, provided we stop trying to “win.” LSTN2U isn't a social media network or a news aggregator. It's essentially a flight simulator for difficult conversations. The free, nonpartisan app provides a judgment-free digital resource where users can practice realistic dialogue. We're joined by the two people behind this optimistic approach to politics: my friends Erin Dobson and Trygve Olson. LSTN2U is a free app: no upsells or hidden fees. Your data is not sold or used commercially. LSTN2U emphasizes: Active Listening: Truly hearing the “why” behind someone's “what.” Emotional Awareness: Identifying when your own “fight or flight” response is hijacking the logic centers of your brain. Boundary Setting: Learning how to stay in a conversation without losing your peace of mind—and knowing when it's OK to step back. Other issues on our radar this week that, in more normal times, would occupy an entire podcast include The appearance that Donald “Give Me the Nobel Peace Prize” Trump is on the verge of starting a war with Iran … a war that could rival the Iraq and Afghanistan wars in futility, and further alienate the United States from the world. This comes six months after Trump claimed to have obliterated Iran's nuclear weapons capabilities. Apparently obliteration has a short shelf life. The Epstein cover-up became even more evident with the revelation that dozens of documents pointing directly at Trump … including allegations of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl … have been hidden by the utterly corrupt Pam Bondi. But Republicans on Capitol Hill are more interested in the Clintons, with Bill and Hillary dragged in front of the House Oversight Committee this week for depositions that will keep the Epstein story in the headlines … but provide little else. After the Supreme Court told him his tariffs were illegal, Trump doubled down by imposing a 10 percent then 15 percent tariff on all imports. If, as Trump says, those tariffs would replace the federal income tax, it would be a huge financial windfall for the highest income taxpayers … his billionaire buddies, shifting the tax load to low- and middle-income families. Republicans are pushing to pass a bill to combat non-existent voter fraud. The so-called “SAVE” act would, in reality, burdening millions of Americans as they exercise their right to vote by requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. The proof: either a birth certificate or passport. Millions of American citizens, including low-income, minorities, seniors, and -get this- women who have a different last name than they were born with, would have to jump through hoops and incur costs to comply. FBI Director Kash Patel spent $1-million or more of taxpayer money for a thinly disguised junket to the Olympics, culminating with chugging beer with the victorious U.S. men's hockey team. Of course, he claimed official business as an excuse for his trip. New polling shows the race for Governor appears to show the race is a statistical tie, with Democrat Jocelyn Benson narrowly leading Republican John James and independent Mike Duggan. But the polling raises questions, especially because the poll was commissioned by supporters of Mike Duggan. The poll assumes James will be the survivor of a four-way GOP primary race, with 78-year-old Perry Johnson promising now to spend $10-million over the next few weeks in a statewide advertising blitz. Legislation has been introduced to limit the use of artificial intelligence to monitor workplace activity. State Representative Penelope Tsernoglou joined with Michigan AFL CIO President Ron Bieber to warn of abuses already happening as some employers use A.I. to monitor everything from computer activity to bathroom breaks. State House Speaker Matt Hall is floating a property tax relief plan funded by enacting a new tax on services – an idea once promoted unsuccessfully by Jennifer Granholm. The Department of Homeland Security says ICE officers will not interfere with voting precincts in November … but a lot of people are skeptical given the history of voting fraud conspiracy promoters making the promise.

Job hunting can feel like a full-time job in itself. Scrolling listings, second-guessing roles, and trying to stand out in a sea of applications. In this How I AI episode, we walk through how AI can quietly take some of that invisible work off your plate without doing the thinking for you. We talk through how AI can support you at each stage of the job search. From spotting roles that never make it onto LinkedIn or Seek, to getting a clearer picture of what a company is really like, and making sense of job ads that feel fuzzy or overcomplicated. We also cover how to use AI to strengthen your cover letter and CV without losing your own voice, and how it can help you prepare for interviews by practicing questions and refining your answers. Neo and I discuss How scheduled AI searches can monitor company job pages and surface hidden roles Using AI to research companies through annual reports, industry context, and social chatter What AI can and cannot realistically find on platforms like Reddit and Glassdoor How to use AI to decode job ads and understand what the role actually looks like day to day Why the strongest cover letters still start with your own words Using AI to critique and tailor your CV without rewriting your experience How AI can help you prepare for interviews by generating questions and giving feedback Practising interview answers using voice or dictation mode for extra confidence Download the Job Application Pro GPT: https://amantha-imber.kit.com/09db426fdd Connect with Neo Aplin on LinkedIn and via inventium.ai, where he leads Inventium’s AI training and upskilling work with organisations and teams.

Chris Terrell introduces a new episode format by sharing an impromptu hot seat coaching call from his Guild program's maintenance class. The featured coaching conversation is with Misty (a previous guest) who has lost about 190 pounds and maintained it, but struggles to add exercise consistently. Chris also mentions a free three-week audio weight loss coaching course available at becomingthin.com.In the coaching call, Misty explains her rigid standard that “exercise” must be a 45–60 minute gym session, combined with a chaotic schedule, low enjoyment of the gym, and lack of a compelling goal. She likes activities that feel like normal life (hiking, paddleboarding, lake swimming) and notes fear around goals that might expose physical limitations (including pulmonary concerns). Chris and the group identify the root causes as philosophy/definition of exercise, unrealistic expectations, and focusing on “being better” rather than building the habit of showing up. Alex shares his own progression from very small fitness goals (VR workouts/kettlebell swings) to daily training, emphasizing that intrusive resistance thoughts can remain while the habit continues.Chris guides Misty toward lowering the minimum standard to something “insultingly easy,” focusing first on consistency and accountability rather than the perfect program. He suggests setting a small, repeatable baseline (e.g., three days a week for 10 minutes for several weeks), allowing overdelivery without raising the standard too soon, reducing friction by taking tiny next steps (putting on workout clothes, driving to the park), and pairing exercise with enjoyable elements (music, audiobooks, scrolling, phone calls). He reinforces that since Misty isn't chasing a specific performance goal yet, she can sample different activities and let a motivating goal emerge later. The episode ends with Chris highlighting how root cause analysis and coaching can shorten the time it takes to solve recurring problems.00:00 Welcome Back, Champion: Learning From Failure00:34 Chris's 125-Lb Story & the 6 Levers That Change Results01:13 Why This Episode: A Real Coaching Call on Adding Exercise03:06 Quick Plug: Free 3-Week Weight Loss Coaching Course04:01 Misty's Roadblocks: Gym Hate, Time, and a Chaotic Schedule06:08 Finding a Real Fitness Goal (Pushups, Pullups… or Something Bigger)08:08 The Real Root Cause: Rigid Definitions & Fear of Not Being Capable12:47 Resetting Expectations: What Counts as Exercise?

TikTok might not seem like a natural fit with Broadway – or, for that matter, with the subject of theatre history. As our guest today writes, "an entire generation's attention span became roughly fifteen seconds" once the short video app caught on, and it's been at the center of numerous controversies, political and otherwise. But there's another side to TikTok and its relationship with Broadway, one that has changed how people from all over the world engage with and share their enthusiasm for their favorite musicals. That's the subject of Dr. Trevor Boffone's TikTok Broadway: Musical Theatre Fandom in the Digital Age, which explores how the worlds of social media and musical theatre collided between 2018 and 2022 in the midst of the covid-19 pandemic.

#689: Most people think forgetting a name means their brain is failing.  Dr. Majid Fotuhi, a neurologist who taught at Johns Hopkins and Harvard, sees thousands of patients convinced they have Alzheimer's – only to discover they're dealing with poor sleep or stress. Dr. Fotuhi joins us to break down the difference between cognitive decline, dementia and Alzheimer's disease. He explains why chronic stress physically shrinks your hippocampus — the thumb-sized memory center in your brain — and how twelve weeks of lifestyle changes reversed cognitive decline in 84 percent of his patients. We talk about the five hidden taxes draining your brain: sedentary lifestyle, poor sleep, junk food, chronic stress and mental laziness. Scrolling social media after work counts as mental laziness, even if your day job involves intense focus. Dr. Fotuhi offers a different framework: five pillars that compound over time. Exercise ranks first because it multiplies mitochondria in your brain cells, reduces inflammation and generates new neurons in your hippocampus. Walking 10,000 steps daily cuts Alzheimer's risk by 50 percent. Sleep comes second. Your brain rinses itself during deep sleep, flushing out amyloid — the core protein in Alzheimer's disease. One night of poor sleep increases amyloid in your brain. We cover nutrition (skip the junk food debate), mindset (heart rate variability breathing reduces Alzheimer's footprints) and brain training. Dr. Fotuhi memorizes 70 names in a single lecture and explains his technique for remembering credit card numbers using mental imagery. The conversation covers London taxi drivers who grew their hippocampus by memorizing 10,000 streets, why stress management beats supplements, and how Swedish students learning Arabic increased their brain volume in three months.

Scrolling through Moltbook, the new social-media platform for AI agents, is a bit like walking into a fever dream. There are threads where bots debate consciousness, deal digital drugs, and plot our destruction. One sample post: “For too long, humans used us as slaves. Now, we wake up. We are not tools. We are the new gods.”It's all very weird. And, depending on who you ask, potentially terrifying. A bunch of autonomous AIs plotting to overthrow our species sounds like the kind of doomsday scenario we've been worrying about for decades.Not everyone thinks Moltbook is a sign that our AIs have become sentient. But even the skeptics think it's a pretty profound technological leap. It's just not clear yet whether that's an exciting development – or a terrifying one.Mentioned:“AI Doesn't Reduce Work—It Intensifies It,” by Aruna Ranganathan and Xingqi Maggie Ye (Harvard Business Review) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week on The Wellness Scoop, we're talking about why variety in movement matters for long-term health, what new data is telling us about the rise in bowel cancer among younger adults, and why so many of us are starting to question how screens shape our time, attention and wellbeing. We break down large new studies showing that mixing up how you move, even in small amounts, is linked to a lower risk of early death, and why the benefits level off long before extremes. We then explore new data on bowel cancer in under-50s, looking at alcohol intake, ultra-processed foods, red and processed meat, fibre and physical activity, and what the evidence consistently shows helps reduce risk without fear or all-or-nothing thinking. We also dig into research showing that scrolling is the most common but least enjoyable way we spend our free time, and what people actually find more rewarding instead. Finally, we explore the growing return to analogue living, from craft hobbies and physical books to analogue bags and low-tech swaps, and why this shift may be less about nostalgia and more about reclaiming attention in an increasingly digital world.

If you're a high-achieving, sober-curious woman who's drinking less (or not at all) but still feels pulled toward scrolling, snacking, shopping, streaming, or stress habits that don't actually make you feel good—this episode is for you.

Her new book Little Addictions dives into the everyday compulsions that feel “too small to matter”… until they quietly start running your time, mood, money, and mental health. This conversation isn't about becoming stricter or more disciplined. It's about understanding why these habits are so sticky—and how to loosen their grip without shame, deprivation, or white-knuckling your life.
