Epitome Anatomy: NARRATIVE
Let's actively dissect the concept of "Narrative" and its decisive role in shaping our perceptions and beliefs online, which translates to our daily lives. Host Wish Peacocke reveals how narratives influence our understanding of reality, often driven by the stories we consume online. Listeners are challenged to critically evaluate the narratives they encounter, urging them to balance scepticism with open-mindedness. By curating our digital experiences and questioning the stories we accept, we can navigate today's complex information landscape more effectively.
Epitome Anatomy: IRL
Wish probes (and rants) into the concept of "In Real Life" (IRL) and the challenges of navigating a world increasingly dominated by digital interactions. Let's explore how our online personas often overshadow our real-world experiences, leading to a disconnect from reality, through Wish's personal reflections and cultural observations. This episode also invites listeners to reflect on their own balance between online and offline life, from the pressures of social media validation to the dangers of overconsumption and the loss of genuine human connection. Tune in to discover how embracing the present moment can lead to a more fulfilling and authentic existence.
