Parallax helps you reclaim the common ground. We transform the world's best political analysis into smart audio playlists, helping you understand every angle of an issue, not just the loudest ones.
Request Early Access >Your Feed Was Designed to Fracture Reality.
It's not your imagination. The modern media architecture runs on a profitable and destructive truth: nothing keeps us engaged like division. Research on prominent platforms confirms this, finding that each term expressing animosity toward an opposing group increases a post's chances of being promoted to others by a staggering 67%.
These platforms are designed to convert your attention into revenue. Their algorithms have learned that nothing is more engaging than conflict, leading them to systematically reward animosity and create a distorted view of reality.
These personalized algorithms relentlessly sort us into ideological echo chambers. Psychological research confirms that when we are only exposed to those who agree with us, our views become more extreme. The result is a fractured reality where eight in ten U.S. adults believe we can’t even agree on basic facts. Not because we are hopelessly divided, but because the digital spaces we inhabit were designed to make us so.
The result is more than just online noise. It's real world legislative gridlock and the disappearance of the political middle. We lose the ability to see our neighbors as well intentioned people with different opinions. We lose the nuance required for progress. Parallax was built to reclaim that common ground.
A System Designed for Signal, Not Noise.
Designed For The Gaps In Your Day
Parallax turns your commute, workout, or daily walk into a moment of clarity. Our audio stations are designed for the small gaps in your day, helping you stay informed without the endless scroll.
Hear Good Faith Arguments
Listen to in-depth analysis from respected independent writers who are committed to the honest pursuit of ideas. We filter out the pundits and rage baiters, building a library founded on intellectual integrity and curiosity.
A 'Pure' Algorithm Built on Respect
Instead of a feed engineered for reaction, Parallax uses a pure performance based algorithm. Our medium length format for stations (3-12 minutes) is structured for thoughtful analysis. It is too long for low effort outrage, but perfectly paced for to the point, thoughtful narratives to hold users attentions. To highlight these exceptional narratives, our algorithm prioritizes content based on a single metric: listen completion. This synergy naturally elevates thoughtful analysis and filters out the noise.
No User Profiling. Period.
Our respect for you extends to your privacy. Our algorithm doesn't need to know who you are, what you've clicked, or what you believe. The only personalization is the station you choose. It's a healthier model for discourse because it's built on a foundation of trust.
In a Divided World, Understanding is a Radical Act.
