Pulse of a Machine

Pulse of a Machine, a biweekly experiment by Pari Abbasli in noticing things in media everyone else scrolls past.This radio show is about the media habits, behaviours and systems we rarely stop to question.Every two weeks, the show takes one idea from our everyday relationship with media and follows it further: why some behaviours become contagious, how platforms influence the way we communicate, why certain opinions feel safer to repeat than question, how media norms change across cultures, or what happens when our first reaction becomes our only reaction.The show moves between personal observation, research, internet culture, conversations and voices from around the world.No media degree required. Curiosity helps.
