The 3rd Brain Podcast: Your Guide to the Intersection of Tech and Relationships

Creating an app alone can't address the complex problems we're trying to solve. When the issue at hand is as global and deeply ingrained as the unequal dynamics in households, we need more than just digital solutions.

That's why, along with the 3rd Brain app, we're excited to announce the launch of our upcoming podcast. This podcast will explore the profound impact of technology on both romantic and platonic relationships.

Why a Podcast?

As we enter the research phase for the podcast, we’ve scoured the internet for existing shows that tackle the converging worlds of Technology, Psychology, and Relationships. We want to create a podcast that complements and elevates the discourse in these fields.
