Episode 33: Is it all the media's fault?

The podcast features Siri Helle, a psychologist who wrote the book, Smarter than your phone, about social media, and Amelia Adamo, who has worked with media since the 1970s. Is it the media that creates our health anxiety or does it help us with the answers? How should we relate to all the advice, exhortations and good-looking and successful people that are everywhere in social media? Does comparing ourselves to others make us sick or does finding like-minded people online make us healthy?
