You might feel aware that the internet makes you feel strangely disconnected from others, but writer and podcaster Emma Gannon feels it makes us disconnect from ourselves too.
In this chat, Emma and Fearne dissect cancel culture and why we’ve got to allow each other the space to learn and grow, as well as why our offline activity should take precedence because actions speak louder than token words on a screen.
They also talk about how the biggest crime now seems to be not having an opinion. Fearne and Emma believe it’s ok not to know, or have an opinion on, absolutely everything. In fact, that’s probably better both for the world and your own mental health.
Do you feel somewhat disconnected? Are your genuine opinions conflated with those of others? Do you subconsciously compare yourself to others online?
Emma Gannon is a Sunday Times bestselling author, speaker, novelist and host of the no. 1 careers podcast in the UK.

Her latest book Disconnected: How To Stay Human In An Online World is a practical guide to finding connection and community both online and off and how to make our relationship with the digital world that little bit better.
