Can We Have Your Attention? is your guide to surviving and thriving in the modern attention economy. We talk about the players fighting for your focus – from the algorithms optimising your feeds to the ad tech and brand strategies that keep you scrolling.

We go beyond the click-bait bad news and look for solutions. Each episode explores digital wellbeing, media literacy, and practical mental health tools to help you build resilience against distraction and burnout. Whether you want to understand the creator economy, manage your screen time, or simply reclaim your mind from big tech, join us to learn how to pay attention to what truly matters.

Your Guides to the Attention Economy: Hosted by Claire Coady, a marketing expert who has advised governments and global brands on how to win the battle for attention, and James Wickham, a former BBC journalist who has spent a career inside the 24-hour news machine. Together, they combine 40+ years of experience to help you understand who is fighting for your focus, and how you can fight back.
