Episode Synopsis

Scrolling through social media is often described as a way of losing time, but it may be happening in more ways than one. Beyond the hours that disappear into endless feeds, there is also a subtler shift: our sense of sequence is slipping. Platforms that once showed posts in order now serve up a mix from minutes ago, days ago, or even weeks ago, with little distinction. This episode considers what it means to consume the world out of order, and whether losing track of when things happened might change how connected we feel to reality itself.
