In this first episode, I explain why I stepped away from daily news — and what this podcast is about instead.Constant updates can make us feel informed while actually stripping away context, nuance, and understanding. This episode looks at how the modern news cycle rewards speed and certainty, why complexity gets flattened into simple narratives, and why stepping back is often the only way to see what really matters.Thailand and life abroad are sometimes the lens, because that’s the world I live in but the bigger point is universal: being updated isn’t the same as being informed.This isn’t breaking news.It’s sense-making.
