Introduction

Hurry Slowly is a podcast about pacing yourself. This week, Jocelyn Glai and Mary McNaughton Castle talk about how the news cycle affects our well-being. They discuss why cramming a constant stream of news into your brain ratchets up your stress levels and sends your anxiety skyrocketing. Our conversation focuses on understanding the psychology that drives our addiction to the news and how we can redesign our media diets with self-care in mind.
