  • Slow News / Good News: Inside the Flick-Scroll Feed That’s Hijacking Your Soul!
    Aug 20 2025

    In this episode…

    We start with a headline in the form of a question: what happens when speed, volume, and outrage replace memory, meaning, and fact?

    In an era hooked on push alerts and instant takes, we’re slowing the tempo to examine how the flick-scroll feed itself became the nightmare.

    From the birth of 24-hour news to the rise of churnalism, it’s reporting built for people who think in paragraphs, not taps and swipes.

  • Welcome to a Global Voice From Japan — The Fushigi Instinct
    Aug 13 2025

    In this episode…

    We start with one word — fushigi — a Japanese word you can’t quite translate, but it shapes everything about the way we tell stories.

    In a world hooked on speed and hot takes, we’re escaping the flick-scroll and slowing the news right down.

    From Tokyo, it’s bold, curiosity-driven stories that — hopefully — make you stop… think… and see things a little differently.
