More than ever, I have heard from teens about the podcasts they have discovered and enjoyed listening to. I also hear from parents telling me about the podcasts their kids are listening to. Today, I am really happy to share with you some wonderful podcast recommendations from my kids, my co-producer Lisa's kids, and from our Facebook page.
Does this sound familiar… you've heard about podcasts that sound interesting, but then when you finally find a moment with the family together where you can actually listen to one, you think to yourself, "Oh, there was this podcast I wanted to check out, but what was the name of it? What was the episode?" One thing I find helpful is to have a contact called "Podcasts 2020" in my contacts app on my computer. When I learn of podcasts I want to try out, I put them in there. That way I always know where to find them. I will even cut and paste lists like the one in this TTT and just stick the whole list in my "Podcast 2020" contact.
I hope this list helps you prepare for when you might be with your kids, in the backyard, in the car, or some other time that a podcast seems in order. Also if you are alone, going for a walk or doing a home workout, consider tuning in to one of these podcasts — they will give you lots of ideas for starting up conversations. Some of the topics include a reexamination of Brown v Board of Education by the master storyteller Malcomb Gladwell, the power of human connection with the former US General Surgeon, and a spy story involving corn.

We launched the Screenagers Podcast this year. Join me as I explore strategies for raising screen-wise and tech-balanced youth. Through interviews with researchers, thought leaders, and young people themselves, the Screenagers Podcast delivers the latest in science along with practical tips. Most episodes are geared for parents, kids, and teens to listen to and thus spark common ground for inspired conversations
My 18-year-old daughter and 21-year-old son have both enjoyed many episodes of Hidden Brain. This podcast has done several episodes recently on race and bias that will spark dialogue. For example, A Social Prescription: Why Human Connection Is Crucial To Our Health that includes Vivek Murphy, the former US General Surgeon.
My kids also liked the episode Miss Buchanan's Period Of Adjustment from the Revisionist History podcast by Malcomb Gladwell. We (my husband and I listened to it with them) learned that although Brown v Board of Education was a major victory in the fight for civil rights, there are aspects to the history that need to be reexamined. Gladwell said this in an interview,
“The court, for its own peculiar reasons, wanted to claim that black people, as a result of segregation, had suffered a kind of grievous and catastrophic psychological injury. And I’m sorry, that’s just not true.”
My son Chase has recently enjoyed these podcasts:

We NOW have a way for people to host online events during this time. We still strongly believe in coming together as a group model for showing both movies, so these temporary online events will be here only while the social distancing is in place.

This week I’m pouring all my creative energy into finishing our new film. Much more to come very soon, but this one is called "Screenagers Under The Influence" and is all about vaping, drugs, and alcohol in the digital age. If you are interested in learning more about how to host it this spring or fall, you can fill out a quick form on the blog page, and we’ll reach out shortly.
