Attention. Everyone wants yours. Your phone. Your boss. Your fridge at 11pm.

But what actually is attention? Why is it so slippery? And why do we get distracted by literally anything — except the thing we’re meant to be doing?

This episode comes with no flashing lights, no pop-ups, and zero notifications (unless your phone betrays us mid-episode).
