In Season 1, Episode 5: The Cult in Your Pocket, we dive into the strange new world where everyone is the star of a show nobody asked to be in. Learn why your phone has quietly become a portable spotlight, how algorithms manipulate your need to be “relatable,” and why we’re all performing like method actors trapped in a never‑ending reboot of The Truman Show. Discover why constant visibility reshapes your identity, how platforms manipulate your need for connection, and why we mistake surveillance for affection. This episode unpacks the psychology behind online performance, the illusion of consent, and the billion‑dollar attention farm we’ve all been herded into — and shows you how to step out of the frame before you accidentally go viral for crying into sponsored Coke and cookies.
