- Kids and social media
One of the issues I have with kids being online is when you’re talking to someone let’s say in a comment section of a YouTube video you don’t know if you’re talking to a minor or not. I do not want to get into a conversation or an argument with a minor no matter what the subject matter is. I think there should be some kind of badge on the account name letting you know that the account belongs to a minor.

United Statesa month ago - Hosts and guests with their “like”
I generally like the episodes but find both the hosts and their guests use the word “like” way too often in their sentences to the point that it distracts what they are articulating. I wish they could tone it down.

Interesting topic, personable host, but the episodes are hard to listen to because of how many ads there are in relation to how long the actual discussion is. I think this podcast concept would have a better shot on a network like Vox or NyMag.
