About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be joined by an expert in the field of media studies, Dr. Sarah Peterson. We're here to talk about her exciting new course, the "Career Advancement Programme in Television Addiction." Hi Sarah, it's great to have you! GUEST: Hi there! Thanks for having me. I'm looking forward to discussing this fascinating topic. HOST: That's wonderful. To start, could you share with us what inspired you to create this course? GUEST: Absolutely. I noticed a growing trend in our society where people are becoming increasingly addicted to television. As a media scholar, I saw an opportunity to help professionals understand and navigate this phenomenon. HOST: Interesting. Could you tell us more about current industry trends related to television addiction? GUEST: Sure. Streaming platforms like Netflix and Hulu have changed the way we consume television. Binge-watching is now the norm, which can lead to unhealthy viewing habits and even addiction. HOST: That's concerning. What challenges have you faced in teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is helping students understand the difference between casual viewing and addiction. Many people don't realize they're addicted until it starts affecting their daily lives. HOST: That must be eye-opening for your students. So, where do you see the future of television addiction heading? GUEST: I believe we'll continue to see more research on the psychological effects of television addiction. There's also a need for better education and resources for those struggling with it. HOST: Well, your course sounds like a fantastic start in addressing this issue. Thank you so much for joining us today, Dr. Peterson. It's been a pleasure. GUEST: Thank you for having me. It's been great discussing this important topic with you.
