The More You Scroll
by Van Valin Productions
Is it possible to have a healthy relationship with the Internet? From family reunions to doctors appointments to movie premieres, we rely on it more and more every day. Since we can’t avoid it, let's talk about taking control of our online lives and having a healthy relationship with the internet (or at least find out if that's a thing!). Each episode, hosts Anna Van Valin (Every Day is a Food Day, Screen Dive) and Colin Foy (Lindenfield, SiriusXM) tackle everyday elements of our wifi-connected lives, how we can harness the good and handle the bad. In our Troubleshooting segments, we give you strategies for managing the gnarliest challenges of the internet like Zoom fatigue, unfollowing guilt and compulsive news checking (we see you, 2021). Every episode ends with some Internet Gold, things we love that represent the best of the internet.
