DIS/CONNECTED

Lucia R.

DIS/CONNECTED is a podcast born from one striking observation: everywhere we go, we’re glued to our screens—but are we still truly connected? In this show, we explore how digital life is reshaping our society, our minds, and our relationships. From loneliness to addiction, from dating apps to dumb phones, from AI’s rise to the erosion of shared truths. DIS/CONNECTED digs deep into what it means to live in an increasingly online world and how we might be able to navigate it.
