Encore! Consumer Electronics

Encore! Look for pod favourite episodes being re-released outside of the regularly scheduled show.

"I remember years ago going to an optometrist, and they ask how many hours of screen time I have in a day and at the time I think I sort of sheepishly said like 4 hours, or something like that, knowing it was actually higher. But today if I went it's like… well how many hours am I awake in a day?"

Kristen and Kyla explore the ethics of consumer electronics, with a deep dive into human rights and the environment. Topics: the history of electronics; what's in a computer; supply chains; factory working conditions; mining; rare earth mineral refining and toxic waste; e-waste dumping and recycling; the right to repair and planned obsolescence; what you can do.
