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
