Burnout: You’ve read about it. You’ve heard about it. Heck, you’re probably living it. And you’ve probably tried everything to fix it. Levels of burnout are reaching new all-time highs, every single day. And the pandemic has only made things worse. This new series, hosted by Connor Franta, looks into how society reached a burning point and what we can do - really, actually do - to break the cycle. With his signature wit and charm, Connor explores the story of burnout, discovers how it affects your body and mind, and looks at why the easy solutions simply won’t work to solve a systemic problem. From Lemonada and Mindful.

Introducing: Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso

We’re excited to introduce you to a show we know you’ll love: Talk Easy. Hosted by Sam Fragoso, Talk Easy is a weekly series of intimate conversations with artists, activists, and politicians—where people sound like people.

Writer Jia Tolentino (The New Yorker) became a literary sensation in 2019 upon the release of her best-selling essay collection, Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion. She joins us this week to ring in 2025.

We start by discussing the erosion of privacy online, the potentially forthcoming TikTok ban, and how she circumvented self-surveillance technology in her Hidden Pregnancy Experiment for The New Yorker. Then, we unpack how data is monetized online, as depicted in an unsettling scene from Succession, the harmful effects of screen time on children, and her writerly upbringing in Houston.

On the back-half, Jia recounts a formative summer in Venice, her subsequent decade working at The Hairpin and Jezebel, the trad wife phenomenon, how she swings between pessimism and optimism, and why writing still retains the power to liberate.
