Moye Moye to Mental Health: Decoding Social Media's Impact | Dostcast w/ Samar Sheoran

1 hour 48 minutes

This week's podcast is a whirlwind of insights and experiences. We're exploring the complex tapestry of social media, politics, personal growth, and everything in between.

Here's a taste of what you'll get:

- Social media trends: From viral memes and the Gujar community's online presence to the dark side of influencer culture and the impact on mental health.

- Politics & Perception: How social media weaponizes emotions and casteism during elections, why people dislike journalist Mohammed Zubair, and how our political views are shaped (and sometimes challenged) by the information we consume.

- The evolution of journalism: Comparing the media landscape of Dr. Manmohan Singh's era to the rise of social media influencers and the changing role of journalists like Ravish Kumar.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand the world around them a little bit better. You'll laugh, you'll learn, and you might just be inspired to make some changes in your own life.
