Ads are a ubiquitous part of the world we’ve grown up in: they peer at us from billboards, sit next to us on the train and obnoxiously clog up our news feeds. No matter where you look there are ads and it’s only getting worse. You probably find ads annoying, but have you ever stopped to ask what impact all that advertising might be having on your brain? Because it turns out it’s probably not good for you.

In this episode we speak to Tim Hollo from The Green Institute to find out why advertising makes us feel bad and what we can do to reclaim our brains.
