Join Chris Endrey for a deep dive into the phenomenon of "brain rot," Oxford's 2024 Word of the Year, exploring how our obsession with phones, infinite scrolling, and short-form content is reshaping our brains, attention spans, lives and maybe civilisation.
Backed by studies from Stanford, Harvard, and a dangerous wealth of personal experience, Chris examines the cognitive and social consequences of constant digital consumption, from shrinking gray matter to declining well-being.
Is this the worst thing ever, or just a new reality we need to navigate?
Tune in for a thought-provoking look at how the small act of reaching for your phone can maybe ruin everything.
