I recently had the pleasure of joining Graeme Doyle on Humdrumity: Escape Monotony for a thought-provoking discussion on the mechanics of outrage media, political polarization, and how we can break free from the toxic cycle of doom-scrolling.

As the host of Outrage Overload, I spend a lot of time exploring the outrage industry—how it influences our emotions, fuels division, and ultimately shapes our perceptions of the world. On Humdrumity, we dove deep into why outrage media is so addictive and how it keeps us hooked, whether through social media algorithms, cable news, or political discourse.

If you’ve ever found yourself caught in an endless loop of outrage-inducing headlines, feeling more anxious and less informed, this episode is for you. We break down what’s happening and how to take back control of your media diet.

And as always, you can find more conversations like this on Outrage Overload. Visit outrageoverload.net or find us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

I’d love to hear your thoughts!
