    Better Offline podcast

    Cool Zone Media is outrage porn in podcast form. I think I’m better without anything they produce in my life.

      That’s an interesting take. The Women’s War show was especially interesting, I thought. What about that (or other shows) do you consider outrage porn?

      I’ll keep your comment in mind and asses whether I think it applies when I listen to a few new eps. I can see it for Better Offline, but not universally across their content.

        I may have stated it too strongly, but of the few podcast episodes I’ve listened to it seemed like the organization is leaning into it (because it works well from a business standpoint).

        I look for sources of entertainment that don’t lean so hard on outrage as a hook and look to inform myself with media that highlights and encourages solutions and practical actions that can be initiated on an individual level.
