Featuring clips from Cal Newport and Adam Mosseri, this episode exposes how these "For You" feeds changed social media forever—and what you can do to stay connected with the people who actually matter.

Why Being BORED Might Be the SMARTEST Thing You Do | EP 009

The only podcast exploring digital overconsumption and wellness through a Black perspective.

Hosted by Leron, Broken Traditions is a deep dive into how modern tech culture—from social media addiction to the cycle of doomscrolling—impacts our community's traditions and mental health. We bridge the gap between digital habits and cultural identity, providing a much-needed lens on the "digital wellness gap" that mainstream tech conversations often ignore.

Whether you're looking to reclaim your focus, protect your peace, or understand the psychological effects of our hyper-connected world, this show provides the insights and strategies to help you break free from digital noise.
