From group chats to video calls, technology should make social connection easier than ever. So, why is everyone so lonely?

She interviews Professor Fay Bound-Alberti, author of "A Biography of Loneliness: The History of an Emotion" to understand what loneliness is, where it comes from, and whether there is a "cure". In the process, Taha and Melissa challenge Sabrina to tackle her own loneliness through a sidequest that reveals just how hard connection can be in modern life.You can find more episodes of Corner Piece here.
