The thing about any addiction is that it will never say no to you. Even when it hurts you, your addiction never calls you or forces you. You summon it. You actually hold power over it, but that power controls you for one reason or another.
The most silent and least talked about addiction of all is pornography. The true crux of pornography is the fantasy of an intimate connection that leaves you more isolated than when you started. Worse yet, stigmas and shame have made it difficult for those suffering from this addiction to seek help.
Joshua Shea breaks down the silent epidemic and the road to recovery to discuss this topic. He, himself, is a recovering pornography addict who can discuss what goes on inside the mind of a porn addict. Joshua’s 20-year addiction came to a head when he pulled himself off his bipolar medication and engaged an underage girl in an online chat room. Now sober, Joshua is here to help with an intimate look at his own story and the motivating factors behind what drove his addiction and what might be driving yours.

In the first episode of this breakdown, we dive deep into the whirlwind saga of TikTok and its recent legislative challenges. As the U.S. government eyes TikTok through a lens of national security concerns, a new bill threatens to radically alter the future of one of America's most popular social media platforms by forcing its sale. We'll unpack the intricate dance of legislation that could see TikTok either banned or forcibly sold, and explore the broader implications this has for digital freedom, data privacy, and international tech politics.
Join us as we dissect how this isn't just about fun videos—it's about the global struggle for control over digital realms and the powerful forces shaping our online experiences. From legislative maneuvers in Washington to the potential global tech upheavals, this episode sheds light on the complex and often hidden battles being fought over the digital landscapes that define our modern era.

We’re born into a world that's always on fast-forward and from day one, we face it alone even when well-supported. Around us, the message is clear: find your "one and only" to hit pause on the chaos and fend off loneliness. But is it reasonable to expect a single person to be our anchor? Today's episode invites you to ponder the plurality of choices in navigating life's shared journey — or in choosing to journey at intervals with others.
We dive into the world of non-monogamous relationships, shattering misconceptions, addressing prejudices, and revealing the rich potential for personal development. We discuss how candid dialogue and the liberty to define our connections can open our world. Plus, we'll look back at how marriage has changed and what it means for love today. If you’re ready for a fresh take on love and the many ways we can choose to experience it, this is your invite to join in.

About The With Jay Burke Show
We live in an amazing age, even if we fail to know it. Anything you want to know, want to see, want to look deeper at, or listen to is at your fingertips for the simple fact it’s there…but we appear more confused than ever. The clatter, the commotion, the pull of the world around us trying to take us in whatever direction it wants. It’s difficult to know where to go, and who to trust. Sometimes, it’s just difficult to have some fun with what’s going on out there.
My name is Jason Burke, and though, I’m technically the host of this podcast, it’s the guests who truly take top billing. This is a place for curious minds who enjoy civil and sometimes meandering conversation. If you appreciate a few laughs and want to come away with new knowledge or a simple understanding of subjects that aren’t always easy to break down, you’re the person I want listening to this podcast.
Join me as we cut through the noise and chaos using experts, educators, authors, influencers, friends, fellow podcasters, people from all walks of life, and sometimes my magical google powers to get to the bottom of a diverse range of topics, both big and small, exciting and mundane, or simply just because we want to know.
Some episodes may cover the big questions of public policy, the profound meditations of philosophy, the wonders of science, or the intricacies of everyday existence, While other episodes may take a light approach to cover sports topics, pop culture happenings, strange facts or fictions. Nothing is off the table. It won’t always be a straight line, but take the journey and escape for a while for thoughtful excursions into the world of ideas across media, politics, technology, pop culture, and all realms of civic life.
