EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Buy Cal’s latest book, “Slow Productivity” at www.calnewport.com/slow Cal Newport talks about artists revolt against social media in Episode 295 of the Deep Questions podcast. In this episode Cal takes a closer look at a growing trend of artists quitting social media and instead reverting to old fashioned websites. Are these acts of principled sacrifice or a sustainable way to be creative online? Cal argues for the latter, showing how the internet without social media curation algorithms can be a place of rich discovery and audience building. He then takes questions on similar topics and ends by playing a few rounds of “deep or crazy” during the final segment.
