Can Great TV Encourage Connection?

Rethinking the narrative that TV increases loneliness

In this episode, Arielle and Gabe discuss Derek Thompson’s article, “The Anti-Social Century” and what it means to watch TV in a time of increased loneliness. We discuss online discourse, fractured viewing patterns, doomscrolling, the joys of discussing the TV shows we love, the power of small talk, and strategies for how we can engage video content in more meaningful ways.
