Remote Control Wars: Which Nation Wins TV Time?

Screen Time Showdown: Who Watches the Most TV?Max Bennett and Lisa Vega dive into the battle of the boob tube, where nations compete for the title of ultimate couch potato. Spoiler: it’s not just the U.S. glued to their screens. From Italy’s post-siesta binge sessions to China’s controlled viewing hours, we analyze who’s watching what, why, and how it shapes global entertainment culture. Is it escapism, addiction, or just good old laziness? Expect irreverent insights, cultural jabs, and a breakdown of why some countries practically live on the couch while others barely touch the remote. Note: This project explores the new creative potential unlocked by generative AI, showcasing how a single person, in just two hours, can curate (not create, but curate) a polished podcast series. I recognize the critiques around AI-generated content and the potential for digital clutter but invite you to take a listen on your next walk or drive and see what you think.
