Update: 2025-09-25
Description
Algorithms shape what we see, share, and even think about — but do we really understand them? In this episode, Shane Hewitt and Ryan break down what algorithms are, how they’ve become central to digital culture, and why they carry both promise and pitfalls. They explore how algorithms guide everything from social media feeds to surprise discoveries, while also critiquing how easily we blame them for negative experiences online. With personal anecdotes, humor, and a critical look at the agendas behind platforms, the conversation highlights why algorithms deserve a more nuanced perspective in today’s connected world.
