      <title>Addiction - The Brain That Betrays You</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI8874982201</link>
      <description>Ava Grey explores how the brain's dopamine system, designed for scarcity, becomes a trap in our world of engineered abundance. From genetic vulnerability to receptor downregulation, discover why addiction isn't a moral failing but a neurological mismatch—and why your brain's ancient reward circuitry makes resisting modern superstimuli nearly impossible.

      <title>Addiction - 300 Feet of Nothing</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI8277206856</link>
      <description>Ava Grey examines how social media platforms exploit dopamine pathways and variable reinforcement schedules to create addictive scrolling behaviors. Drawing on behavioral psychology and contemporary research, she reveals why users scroll an average of 300 feet of content daily despite feeling unsatisfied, comparing the mechanism to clinical addiction patterns studied since B.F. Skinner's experiments.
