3. The Outrage Machine

Omid explores social media, algorithms, cancel culture and our addiction to the outrage machine.

Omid Djalili explores a world that's louder, angrier, and stranger than ever.

From social media pile-ons to clickbait headlines and algorithm-fuelled arguments, modern life often feels powered by outrage. Omid Djalili explores why anger has become entertainment, why everyone suddenly seems like an expert, and what happens in a culture that rewards shouting over listening.
