Internet addiction is a very real problem, with real consequences. And it’s way more prevalent than you think. This week, we hear from a young man about his struggles with a gaming addiction. And, a woman who asked to remain anonymous, shares the emotional story of how her whole life was changed by a loved one’s addiction. (After making this episode our production team was left questioning their own internet usage, as well as their family’s.)

While Dr. Hallowell’s demanding schedule has him travelling around the country and the world, we’re taking a second listen to some of Distraction’s most popular episodes from Season 1.
In this episode Ned goes back to East Rock Coffee, the no-electronics café, where he connects with David Reed, who received his PhD at the University of Toronto in New Testament Studies, and is a post-doc at Yale in Religious Studies. A serious, yet sometimes lighthearted conversation ensues about the history of sex in early Christianity.
David’s first book is currently “in press.” Here’s an article he wrote in 2015: http://www.dsausa.org/eye_of_the_beholder_religion_liberty_and_violence
