It is a clever web of societal values, and a big old red herring. I hope you enjoy it (ah, despite the TERRIBLE video qaulity).

Do you ever wonder why it seems so hard to connect despite making every effort? In this episode of The Loneliness Industry, we move beyond individual blame t...

Dear freinds and listeners! Thank you so much for your patience. This vid was a long one, with unfixably crap lighting, so it took an age! It is a topic that impacts so many of us, so I wanted to get it right, and hope you enjoy the episode!

Just a note too that the next episode will be in THREE weeks time, rather than two, as life has intervened with something, however, subscribers will still get something in a fortnight. HUgs to you all, ejoy, share, and see you soon!
