With stories of injustice and suffering beamed directly to our devices, the news can make us feel powerless to help. Mae, Ned and guest host Daniella Isaacs are joined by Chi Chi Izundu from BBC News to figure out how to consume news media in a healthy and empowering way. Ned investigates fake news, Daniella tries to escape from an echo chamber, Bisha K Ali looks at the bright side and Steve Ali just wants to watch videos of cats doing cute things.

Co-created by Deborah Frances-White for The Spontaneity Shop and BBC Radio 4.

Produced by Al Riddell

Music by Mark Hodge and Omahrose, produced by Nick Sheldon.
