Episode Details

Eight percent of US households own no television, but most of them still watch — they just left the furniture behind. This episode starts with a listener's accidental four-month break from TV and ends somewhere more surprising: the habit discontinuity hypothesis, a Peterborough field experiment with 800 households, and the uncomfortable finding that life's disruptions open a window for change that quietly closes after about three months. If you've ever drifted into a new routine without deciding to, this one's for you. Episode #951004 — open it directly at myweirdprompts.com/951004
