About this listen

Griffin Rowe examines how streaming platforms transformed television cliffhangers into algorithmic retention tools. Drawing on Homer's Sirens and ritual anthropology, he explores how overused suspense mechanics erode our capacity for meaningful tension, turning transformative storytelling into manufactured engagement that diminishes art and audience.
