    SPECIAL EDITION: "Let them be kids" - Should we change the age of Social Media access?

    SPECIAL EDITION: "Let them be kids" - Should we change the age of Social Media access?

    There's a lot of debate, concern, questions and demands for the age at which kids can access social media to be lifted from 13 up to 16 right now.
    I understand where this is coming from, and the heartache that drives it. But will it work.
    I've produced this special edition podcast to help me, Trevor Long, understand the issue, and if a change will work.
    Rather than just banging on about it myself, I'm joined by experts in Digital Parenting and Cyber issues for Teens, to help explain what is going on with kids, how this might help, but also what gaps it might expose.
    I did this to better educate myself, but I think it will help educate us all.
    Feedback is welcome, from parents, kids, no matter if you agree, disagree, have ever seen issues or have never seen issues - get in touch - text me on 0477 657 657

Great shows

All the shows that involve Trevor (and Steven ), I really enjoy. Always very informative but with humility and a sense of humour. I actually discovered this through the no longer running f1 podcast, and now listen to all their shows. Great listen.

Trev Fetch box update

Love your show glade you are Back

Well I was a bit confused annoyed by the changes To the fetch Box and yes I record a lot I felt it was harder to many key strokes to get to what I wanted to watch. Why they placed the your recordings away from my stuff I am still puzzled. They had done a great job in the passed but this one doesn’t get my Tick . Please guys make some changes people don’t want to have the hassle of clicking too many times to find their recordings.
Everyone is different and we don’t all do the same things but it’s now a hassle to find Tv shows recordings . Please next upgrade make it a bit better for us to use . I like the old set up I know change is hard . This one is not a good upgrade. Apart from the It’s a great Entertainment box 👍🏼
