About Outrage Overload
What is Outrage Overload?
Outrage Overload is a Connors Institute podcast and newsletter exploring the outrage industry, toxic polarization, and how we can dial it all down.
We live in an age where anger is monetized, polarization is weaponized, and outrage is just a click away. From political campaigns to cable news, social media to spammy fundraising emails, we’re constantly bombarded with messages designed to make us mad. But what’s this doing to our brains, our relationships, and our democracy?
That’s the question at the heart of Outrage Overload.
