Episode 164 - Why You Don’t Trust the News with Kira Shishkin

Why does the news feel exhausting, confusing, and biased?

In this episode of Naked Sunday, Caleb Nelson talks with Kira Shishkin (founder of informed.now, news by text) about how modern media is built to trigger fear and anger, steal your attention, and push people into tribes. They break down why most people don’t even agree on the same facts anymore, and what it looks like to stay informed without getting influenced.

What you’ll hear:

• Why you feel drained after reading the news

• How fear + anger drive clicks (and control)

• Bias, tribes, and why real conversation feels impossible now

• How to get facts without propaganda

• Why “age” is a weak shortcut for judging people

• The role relationships play when life gets hard
