Episode 30: Television

Subscribe: TuneIn | RSS

This episode focuses on television and the effects it has on people. We focus mostly on children, and the issues of obesity, violence, and attention disorders. The conversation gets quite heated at times since we don’t agree on the power of this medium to psychologically influence children in the long term. Not to hate on something we love, however, we also discuss some of the good things that television does for kids and our world in general.

Some of our specific topics include television and its effects on kids, TV and ADHD, television and obesity, advertising, and even propaganda and subliminal messages. We argue and swear a lot in this Sofa King Podcast, so keep the volume low! Adult content. NSFW.
