When your feed is filled with crushing news, conspiracy theories and existential threats (climate change who?), life can seem pretty overwhelming.

But that’s why in Doomscroll Remedy, we’re going deeper in an attempt to better understand how we got ourselves into this mess and what we can do to get out of it.

It’s for that knot in your gut – yeah, we feel it too – when you’re stuck on an endless stream of terrible news and you’re not quite sure how to get off the doomscroll death spiral.

You’ll get a glimpse into the lives of people on the front lines of the curliest issues – and meet the people trying to solve them.

Don't throw your phone through the wall – seek solace in your podcast app instead.
