Is a social media ban for kids a good idea?
Should kids under the age of 16 be banned from social media? A new campaign called 36 Months is calling for the age at which young people can sign up to social media to be pushed from 13 to 16. The organisers believe that the 36 months between the two ages are vital, and that “Kids need more time to develop healthy and secure identities before they’re exposed to the minefield of social media”.
On today’s podcast, we speak to Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli, one of two organisers of the campaign, about why he’s behind the push, how he thinks it could work in practice and what some of the shortcomings of this approach could be.

The perfect news for young people or anyone
I listen to it every morning and it all-ways a hit. Everything is explained so well and I all-ways can understand what there talking about unlike other new podcasts
Favourite news cast but ads are getting a bit much and acknowledgement of country at end of show
This is my absolute favourite newscast and my weekday doesn’t feel complete without it, but over the last year or so the ads have been increasing in frequency and often repeating the same ad multiple times in one episode. I know you have to make money through ads but it’s really bringing down my listening experience. The acknowledgement of country was also moved from the beginning of the podcast to the end, which I personally think is more disrespectful than not having one at all. Very disappointing, and not the integrity I’ve come to expect from TDA.
News As It Should Be
It’s great to have news reported in such an objective and unbiased way . Well done to all involved.
