This week we wondered if cell phones can adversely affect your health (or kill you), the goggles of Magic Leap and the problem Twitter has with the hateful people on its platform. Then later in the ep, Megan chats up Jeremy Burge, the Aussie founder of Emojipedia. They talk about the need for a pedia for emoji, Simpsons yellow and the skin-shade identity politics of mobile communication. It’s complicated.

Your hosts: Megan Rose Dickey and Henry Pickavet

Guest: Jeremy Burge, founder of Emojipedia
