Episode #5 - Friendships, Fandoms and Parasocial Relationships

This week, I interviewed Zaghari about his experience of the online PUBG community. We discuss the prevalence of racism on the online platform and whether or not gaming with friends made through headphone-based communication can measure up to the experience of gaming together with friends - IRL.

Episode #7 - The Digital Divide

David and I explore the generational digital divide by interviewing students and their parents as they visit campus for Celebrate SLC. Among other topics, parents reflect on how the attitude toward phone calls among young people has changed, and whether or not social media is an appropriate tool to deal with grief.

Episode #8 - Activism and Technology

I go with the Yonkers Sanctuary Movement on their trip to Washington DC in November.YSM got up early to support the plaintiffs present at the Supreme Court hearings, where nine judges weighed in on whether the Trump Administration should be allowed to end DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). Members reflect on the first time they attended marches and protests, as children, and what standing up for the community of undocumented folks means to them.
