Small decisions that changed everything!

Available for 28 days

Shanequa Paris and Polly Bayfield want to hear about the small decisions that ended up changing everything. What seemed insignificant at the time but set off a chain reaction? Did one tiny choice lead to a new career, a new friendship, a new city, or even the love of your life? We're celebrating life's unexpected domino effects and the moments where a split-second decision ended up having a much bigger impact than you ever imagined! Plus we explore the world of rage bait - the content designed to provoke outrage, drive engagement and keep us coming back for more. We're joined by psychologist Dr Kirren Schnack to unpack what's happening in our brains when we encounter this kind of content. Is it the dopamine rush of being right? A sense of tribal belonging? The illusion that we're changing someone's mind? Or are social media platforms simply getting better at keeping us trapped in the cycle? Produced in Salford by Audio Always for BBC Radio 1.
