For many of us, checking our phone is the last thing we do before bed, first thing we do in the morning, during breakfast, on the toilet, in the car, during school, during work, hanging out with friends or family, walking the dog, waiting in line, feeling awkward or left out, procrastinating, and much much more. This is a space to learn more about digital technology, media and screens and how they affect us all. This podcast consists of interviews with professionals, teachers, teens, parents, and more, exploring how we can educate ourselves on the good, bad and pixilated.
