This week Charlotte shares a special project created with students from Lakelands Academy and Ellesmere College for Shropshire Youth Awareness Day.

The teenagers explore how social media shapes their lives — from connection and creativity to distraction and digital overload.

Hear their views on platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, and YouTube, and how they manage screen time, phone addiction, and the pressure to stay online.

The Oswestry Life Podcast is sponsored by Martin and Jones - helping you to get seen. Using a blend of traditional marketing and PR and digital campaigns they get you in front of your customers.

Oswestry Life Podcast has been produced by Charlotte Foster Podcasts , Martin & Jones MarketingMartin and Jones and Oswestry Life general .

We're already planning more episodes for our next series and we'd love to hear from you.
