Silence is golden… until it’s awkward.

In this episode, we explore our collective fear of quiet—and how streaming culture, ambient intimacy, and “always-on” communication have rewired our relationship with attention.

Featuring:

• Media ecology 101: What happens when every empty second is filled?

• Why podcasts, playlists, and parasocial YouTubers feel like “company”

• How hyperpersonal communication tricks us into feeling seen

• And why reclaiming silence might be the most rebellious act of self-care

Let’s turn down the volume and turn up the awareness.
