Listen to feel less alone, build better habits and discover some solution-based approaches for when life gets tricky.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/better-than-yesterday-with-osher-g-nsberg-169472"},"episode":{"title":"How Social Media And Smartphones Are Rewiring Our Brains with Dr. Mark Williams","slug":"how-social-media-and-smartphones-are-rewiring-our-brains-with-dr-mark-williams","published_at":"2026-02-24T16:15:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/better-than-yesterday-with-osher-g-nsberg-169472/how-social-media-and-smartphones-are-rewiring-our-brains-with-dr-mark-williams","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/better-than-yesterday-with-osher-g-nsberg-169472","url":"https://omny.fm/shows/better-than-yesterday-with-osher-g-nsberg1/how-social-media-and-smartphones-are-rewiring-our-brains-with-dr-mark-williams","audio_url":"https://p.podderapp.com/2544644999/traffic.omny.fm/d/clips/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/9acdd7ab-7e89-4dcf-812b-b3ad017a28f4/f36b5224-ea4b-4237-ba7a-b3fb001be2a6/audio.mp3?utm_source=Podcast&in_playlist=e3ef7a93-c0b2-41d7-bd2b-b3ad017a2911","summary":"If you’ve stopped and looked up in the middle of a shopping centre or on your train or bus commute, there’s probably one think you’d notice – almost everybody you encounter having their faced buried in their phones. The growth of social media and smartphones means we are constantly looking to be entertained. Today’s guest says – that’s a problem. And he would know, he’s an acclaimed cognitive neuroscientist who has studied behaviour and brain imaging research for more than 25 years. In his new book, Dr Mark Williams reveals how screen exposure is rewiring our brains, especially those of our children. From dopamine loops and social media addiction… to loneliness, parenting, and the subtle ways technology reshapes memory and relationships - this is a conversation every parent needs to hear. While there’s plenty that is scary in our discussion, Mark also has some simple and effective solutions to help build real-life resilience and connections in a digital world.
