🤔 Why Gen Z Is Choosing Depth Over Speed: Podcasts & Social Media
Send us a text
Please take a look at the corresponding Substack episode.
There’s a story unfolding in the data that should give us hope, even as we navigate what feels like an increasingly fractured information landscape. It’s a story about choice, discernment, and a generation that refuses to be defined by the tools they’re forced to use.
The numbers tell us something we might have missed while doom-scrolling through our feeds: young people aren’t giving up on quality information. They’re actually hungrier for it than ever before. They’re just learning to find it in unexpected places.
People trust podcasts more than social media. But is the trust warranted?

This is Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy
Independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter. Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas.
Thanks for listening today!
Four recurring narratives underlie every episode: boundary dissolution, adaptive complexity, embodied knowledge, and quantum-like uncertainty. These aren’t just philosophical musings but frameworks for understanding our modern world.Â
We hope you continue exploring our other podcasts, responding to the content, and checking out our related articles on the Heliox Podcast on Substack.Â

Spoken word, short and sweet, with rhythm and a catchy beat.

Curated, independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, evidenced-based, clinical & community information regarding COVID-19. Since 2017, it has focused on Covid since Feb 2020, with Multiple Stores per day, hence a large searchable base of stories to date. More than 4000 stories on COVID-19 alone. Hundreds of stories on Climate Change.
Zoomers of the Sunshine Coast is a news organization with the advantages of deeply rooted connections within our local community, combined with a provincial, national and global following and exposure. In written form, audio, and video, we provide evidence-based and referenced stories interspersed with curated commentary, satire and humour. We reference where our stories come from and who wrote, published, and even inspired them. Using a social media platform means we have a much higher degree of interaction with our readers than conventional media and provides a significant amplification effect, positively. We expect the same courtesy of other media referencing our stories.
