Is social media the devil's work? Andy assembles an unlikely panel to fight it out - and referees from the middle.

In the blue corner: his son, AoB trainer Ollie Cope, who deleted all his social media accounts and is now doing a PhD on what they do to your brain. In the red corner: AoB's marketing manager Amy Bradley, the creative force behind the Art of Brilliance posts that land in your feed at 6am and the messages that follow - "I really needed to see that today."

What follows is a properly good-natured scrap about the most divisive tool of our age. Ollie argues social media has tipped from neutral to net-harmful - hate sells faster, the algorithms learn your biases and feed them back to you, and nobody's incentivised to show you the other side. Amy makes the case that the same tools, used with love, genuinely change people's days. They're both right, which is what makes it interesting.

In this episode:

  • Why Ollie loves screens but deleted social media - and the difference between the two
  • Amy on the "scroll hole," the Mel Robbins 5-second rule, and training your own algorithm
  • The TikTok experiment that should worry every parent
  • Andy's tongue-in-cheek phone stats (84% have texted someone in the same room... and the one that gets the biggest laugh at conferences)
  • Hate sells faster: how the engagement economy rewards the worst of us
  • The opportunity cost nobody talks about: 42 days a year, and what you're not doing while you're scrolling
  • How to mute, guard and curate your way to a feed that's actually good for you

No moral panic. No "delete everything." Just an honest look at the little black rectangles we're all looking at 150 times a day - and how to take responsibility for how we use them.

Take what works, leave what doesn't, have a play.
