Antony is joined by Henry Weingartener, lead guitarist of Laundry Day, together with Charlie Gross and Nick Greco, co-founders of Sounds of Saving, the leading non-profit using music as a tool to help thousands of people with mental health challenges like anxiety and depression.

They highlight the magnitude of the mental health pandemic so many youngsters are dealing with connected to social media - unrealistic expectations, living with a superficial persona in cyberspace, and chasing likes. They also discuss the universal power of music - both as a creative outlet, and a means of expression that parents and educators can use to get in touch with kids.

Antony sits down with the biggest nature & travel influencer on Tik Tok - Josh Platillero A.K.A. MegaAmerican - to discuss the benefits of enjoying nature, beautiful sunsets and the sound of the ocean. These are the antithesis of being locked in your room glued to meaningless images on a small screen disseminated by social media. Josh reminisces on his "50 Sunsets, 50 States, 50 Days" tour as well as his humble beginnings at Enterprise.

Nature triggers the body's natural chemicals of well-being (Serotonin), trust (Oxytocin) and euphoria (Endorphins); while social media triggers the bodies natural chemicals connected to anxiety (Cortisol), stress (Adrenaline) and mood swings (Glutamate).

Nature is free. Social media may cost you everything.

In Episode #1 of The Antony Gordon Show, Antony sits down with Ed Peisner, founder of The Organization for Social Media Safety (“OSMS”) - the leading U.S. organization confronting the real-world dangers hiding behind our screens. This conversation begins at the point most debates skip. In 2017, Ed’s son Jordan was brutally assaulted in West Hills, California. The attack didn’t end there. It was filmed, uploaded, and went viral. The algorithm amplified the trauma. The internet watched. No guardrails. No accountability. Out of that devastation, OSMS was born. Antony and Ed break down how social media has evolved into an unregulated public safety threat, why kids are uniquely vulnerable, and how Big Tech incentivizes and actively rewards harm, humiliation, and outrage. They also unpack what actually works - including OSMS’s consumer-protection model, their work with policymakers, educators, and media, and why incremental fixes are not enough. This episode isn’t about panic. It’s about clarity. Not censorship - protection. Not theory - consequences. If you care about kids, truth, or the future of a generation raised online, this episode is required listening.
