Millennial Mums & Digital Dads Part 2

August 14, 2026 · 48 min

Show notes

The second episode in a mini-series about millennial parents and their kids' screen time. I ask two new dads how their screen time plans are holding up against outside influences, new norms, government guidance, and the desire to watch the World Cup.
