In this special episode of the Eighty Percent Mental Podcast, host Dr Pete Olusoga talks with Dr. Laura Swettenham and Dr. Kristin McGinty Minister from the ‘But Why?’ podcast to explore the psychological implications of our online lives, the prevalence of misinformation, and the importance of critical thinking. The conversation emphasizes the need for questioning the content we consume and understanding the purpose behind it, how social media can be both beneficial and detrimental to mental health, the role of algorithms in shaping our experiences, and the challenges faced by women in online spaces.
