  1. Episode 1

    S3 E1 | Why we want to talk about Social Media | Social media

    This season we return to discuss whether social media platforms are actually social. In the first episode of this season Judith Zoë introduces her new co-host prof. dr. Gianclaudio Malgieri and the wider collaboration behind this project. Together they discuss why it is important to discuss social media now.

  2. Episode 2

    S3 E2 | Beyond the ban: digital resilience and youth

    In this episode, we would like to take this conversation beyond the ban and ask a more fundamental question: What do kids and young people need to flourish on social media? In this episode Judith Zoë Blijden and Gianclaudio Malgieri talk to professor Esther Rozendaal (Erasmus University) and Lore Sleeckx and Reinout Vermaercke (Flemish Youth Council).

  3. Episode 3

    S3 E3 | Platform politics with Kim van Sparrentak | Social Media

    Gianclaudio and Judith talk to Kim van Sparrentak. Kim van Sparrentak is a member of the European Parliament. She has urged for new legislation for a better internet. This legislation might be just around the corner. We discuss what it means when we say technology is political, and what Kim thinks needs to happen to make social media actually social. We recorded this conversation in April 2026. Listener discretion is advised: this episode contains mentions of suicide and violence.
