Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth · Rosebud in NYC - Harlan Coben · 19 Jun 2026 podcast

I think you're learning something off the internet.

It has made us more tribal.

It has made us more follow our own narrative.

And I think most of the problems that exist today where we have no middle anymore, we have no rational thought, we have no pragmatism, we have no critical thinking,

can be traced back to the dangers of social media.

And I will add another one.

I don't think I would have ever been a writer if I was a child where I wasn't bored out of my mind sometimes and making up stories in my head.

And you did too, Giles, when you were young, didn't you?

We walked in woods.

We walked in our backyard.

We had nothing to do.

And so we started to tell stories to ourselves.

And those times when I was a kid, when I would...

I would take baseball cards and make games out of them and try and invent worlds for them and make up things in my head on basketball courts or on baseball fields or while walking through the woods.

Now I would just scroll like an idiot, like a mindless idiot, like I do now, like we all do now.

So that my only rant is...

As much as you can, let's get off social media.

Let's get the electronics out of the classroom.

And we all know this.

This is not something surprising.
