Entertaining Ourselves to Death: Right or Wrong? Ft. Megan Garber (The Atlantic)

Isa sits down with Megan Garber, staff writer for The Atlantic and author of the new book Screen People: How We Entertained Ourselves Into a State of Emergency, for a conversation that feels equal parts eye-opening and uncomfortably relatable. Joined by friend of the podcast Lily Lester, the trio digs into how today's media landscape has conditioned us to see each other not as people, but as characters in an ongoing show. As Gen Z cuspers, Isa and Lily get personal – exploring how they're not just watching the spectacle, but performing in it. They talk about what screen culture is doing to our empathy, our anxiety in public spaces, and our ability to survive corporate America with our souls intact. Is it getting better or worse? Are there any real solutions? Megan has thoughts. If you've ever doom-scrolled, overshared, or caught yourself treating a stranger like a plot point... this one's for you.
