Greg and Alison dive headfirst into the toxic grip of big tech on creativity and mental autonomy. Sharing raw personal journeys from Alison’s early Facebook rebellion to Greg’s radical "de-Googling" in the mountains of New Hampshire, they dissect how algorithms poison focus, erode privacy, and stifle artistic expression.
Your fearless hosts then expose the hidden cost of "engagement": stolen attention spans, fractured communities, and a world where making art feels impossible. With fiery anecdotes about startup culture, zombie-like scrolling, and Trent Reznor’s DX7-smashing rage, this candid conversation asks: Can we reclaim our minds from the feed?

Doctor Body is Alison & Greg's experimental electronic duo.
PatternSonix is Alison & Greg's niche consulting firm focusing on the intersection between sound and AI.
