In this episode of Media Conflicts, Carl and Marcus dive into one of the most relatable modern debates: how social media, entertainment, news, and digital culture impact our relationships. From Instagram jealousy and online arguments to bonding over favorite shows and viral moments, we break down both sides of the story.

Is media creating unrealistic expectations and communication breakdowns? Or is it giving couples and friends new ways to connect, share, and grow together?

Tune in as we challenge assumptions, share real-life examples, and ask the big question: Is media the problem — or is it how we use it?

New perspectives. Real talk. No filters.

In our premiere episode, Marcus and Carl examine the rise of online trolling and digital harassment. From social media pile-ons to anonymous comment culture, we explore why it happens, who it impacts most, and whether platforms, policies, or personal accountability can truly fix the problem. Is this just the cost of free speech — or can meaningful change happen?
