Over the past seven episodes, Josh has explored all the rushes that some crave and others despise. But what about the micro-rushes that almost all of us get every day? When we hear our phone ping with a social media notification, or lose countless hours in a video game, we are all getting sucked in to the intermittent rewards of the algorithm. Josh talks to a futurist, a data expert, a recovered video game addict, and a digital wellbeing expert to try and figure out why we've all become addicted and how we can break free.

Dive deep into the rush... of algorithms.

Have you ever wished you were famous? Millions of followers online, fans clamouring for selfies, private jets to the Bahamas... But why do we crave this intense level of attention? And how does it affect people when they receive it, especially when it's not intentional? Josh leaves no stone unturned as he speaks to reality star Charlotte Crosby, a philosopher, a fame psychologist, a man who helps people get famous, and a woman who became a meme...

Dive deep into the rush... of fame.

What do you think when you see someone on an early morning run, or drive past someone cycling down the highway to god knows where? Why do some people feel the need to push their bodies to the limit of physical exertion? Josh talks to marathon-running comedian Eddie Izzard, a self-confessed exercise addict, and takes on a six-week personal training course to try and figure it out.

Dive deep into the rush... of endurance.
