Is Video Game Addiction Real?

Is video game addiction real? Does playing for 10 hours a day automatically mean you’re addicted? Or can video games play a large and still healthy role in our lives? Andrew and Adolyn sit down with Calgary-based psychologist, Michaela Rebus, who works with addiction of all kinds, including video game addiction. She shares her experience and knowledge exploring these important questions.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
