After reading her book, "Smartphone Nation," over the summer, I'm really excited to sit down for a chinwag with Dr Kaitlyn Ragehr.

As a Digital Humanities professor at University College London, she spends a significant amount of time examining the impacts of social media, particularly on young people.

Hopefully, you find this a fascinating listen. After reading her book, I made changes to the way I look and think about social media and my smartphone use, and maybe after hearing this, you might too.
