Tired of the Outrage Economy?
Parallax is the signal in the noise. 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.

It's not your imagination. The modern information architecture runs on a destructive business model: monetizing outrage. Research confirms the algorithms have learned that nothing drives engagement like out group animosity. A landmark study found that each term attacking a political opponent increases a post's chance of being algorithmically amplified by a staggering 67%
This system doesn't just show you what you want to see; it shows you what you'll react to. By systematically rewarding conflict, it creates a distorted, perpetually hostile view of reality for profit.
TThe result is a landscape of digital echo chambers where even exposure to opposing views can backfire, making us more entrenched. This has led to an epistemic crisis where eight in ten U.S. adults believe the country cannot even agree on basic facts. This isn't because we are hopelessly divided, but because the digital spaces we inhabit were designed to make us so.
This manufactured division leads to real-world consequences: legislative gridlock, the erosion of democratic norms, and the disappearance of the political middle. We lose the ability to see neighbors as fellow citizens with different opinions and 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.
