Loneliness isn’t a personal failing — it’s a feature of the system. Welcome to The Loneliness Industry, a bi-weekly philosophy podcast exposing the systems that keep us disconnected — with sharp analysis, dark humour, and zero patience for self-help clichés. Hosted by public phiosopher, Jordan Reyne, an Auckland University philosophy graduate who’s equal parts grit and wit. The show unpacks how late-stage capitalism, mindset culture, and the myth of personal control fuel the modern epidemic of loneliness. This is applied philosophy for the emotionally exhausted. We dig into the roots of disconnection — from toxic positivity to the cult of productivity — and reveal how dominant narratives distort what it means to be human. No spiritual bypassing. No mindset quick-fixes. Just unflinching honesty, cultural critique, and a dry laugh in the dark. New episodes every two weeks on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and all major platforms.
