S4 - E12: Nostalgia, Innovation, and Protecting Childhood in the Digital Age.

Foundation Nation

We're cracking open Cherry Cokes and swapping stories—from Jay's festive video creations to musings about the latest in film. Revel in our anticipation for a new masterpiece from Japanese animator Miyazaki, and hear us cackle over "Dawn of the Nugget," the much-awaited "Chicken Run" sequel. Plus, we're spilling our thoughts on the perceived shifts in safety, as we contrast the statistics with the sentiments on today's playgrounds.
As the conversation turns, we delve into the digital realm where the lines between virtual and reality blur, particularly for our kids. The recent Roblox lawsuit has us unraveling the complexities of online gaming safety, prompting us to share how we navigate parental controls and the digital guidance we impart to our own children. We're also peeling back the layers on how the content of video games can influence young minds, just as much as other adult behaviors. Listen in as we advocate for a more vigilant approach to gifting, emphasizing the significance of knowing what kind of entertainment we're placing into the hands of the next generation—a heartfelt reminder for parents and anyone playing a part in a child's life.
