Binge Watching vs. Weekly Watching

Binge Watching vs. Weekly Watching

Author: Lemonada Media and BBC May 15, 2025 Duration: 39:15
What’s the best way to watch TV shows: binge watching or weekly watching? Podcast hosts Greta Johnsen and Anna Sale square off this week. Greta says that binge watching is inherently superior because she believes in full unfettered access to information when you want it. Anna counters that weekly watching is the platonic ideal of TV watching and is what the TV gods intended when they created TV. After considering these well-crafted arguments, which side will Ronald Young Jr. pick in the battle between binge watching and weekly watching?    Follow Greta @gretamjohnsen on Instagram. Anna is @annasalepics on Instagram.   Keep up with Ronald Young Jr. @OhitsBIGRON on X and Instagram.
