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.
