I like to joke that this show is why I can stay up on pop culture without having tik tok or being Gen Z. I’ve loved this show from the early beginning across hosts and lengths. Love ICYMI!
Apple Podcasts5anon8103United Statesa month ago - 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.
Apple Podcasts5fiveonforthUnited States2 months 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.
