Cleo Abram: What Could Go Right?

The podcast explores the balance between creating engaging content and its potential impact, particularly on YouTube. The guest, Cleo, discusses her show "Huge If True," which aims to explain complex topics optimistically and visually, contrasting this with clickbait-driven pessimism. Trevor Noah raises concerns about the "click cycle" and its potential to lead creators astray, referencing Jake Paul's experience. Cleo shares her background, including her parents' influence on simplifying complex information and her frustration with knee-jerk pessimism in news media. The conversation touches on the importance of curiosity, the role of humor in Cleo's content, and the challenges of maintaining journalistic integrity in the age of independent media.
