Why are millennials and Gen Z having less sex than previous generations? On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, neuroscientist and author Dr. Debra Soh joins Karol to discuss the growing “sex recession” and the cultural forces driving it.

Drawing from her new book Sextinction: The Decline of Sex and the Future of Intimacy, Dr. Soh explains how dating apps, social media, pornography, declining testosterone, and loneliness are reshaping modern relationships. She also explores how technology—from AI companions to sex robots—could dramatically change dating, intimacy, and even reproduction in the near future.

Karol and Dr. Soh dive into why young men are increasingly shut out of the dating market, how screens are weakening social skills, and what the long-term consequences could be for society. They also discuss the politicization of science, Dr. Soh’s departure from academia, and practical advice for rebuilding real-world relationships in a digital age.

On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with journalist and commentator Joel Pollak, the opinion editor of the newly launched California Post. Pollak explains the mission behind the new publication and why its founders believe there is a large, underserved audience in California looking for a different perspective on politics, culture, and daily life in the Golden State.

The conversation dives into the current state of California politics, including Governor Gavin Newsom’s policies, the state’s growing fiscal challenges, and controversial legislation affecting local governments and school districts. Pollak shares why he believes California is at a crossroads—and why he’s still investing his time and energy into helping shape its future.

Pollak also reflects on a transformative personal experience during the Palisades fire that reshaped his outlook on community, politics, and rebuilding California. The discussion broadens into culture, family life, and what it takes to stay optimistic in uncertain times.

To close the show, Pollak shares practical advice for improving your life—from the importance of daily exercise and boxing workouts to keeping a daily journal to clear your mind and unlock creativity.
