14 - Inside Screen-Safe: Anna Sarjantson on Protecting the Next Generation

What does online safety really look like in 2025?

In this hard-hitting episode, Anna Sarjantson, founder of Screen-Safe, joins Michelle Edmondson on the Talent First podcast to talk openly about the very real risks our children face online — and what we, as adults, must do about it.

They explore the uncomfortable rise of AI-generated boyfriends like Bad Rudy, the rise in sextortion and anonymous group chats, and the role platforms like TikTok and OnlyFans are playing in shaping a child’s digital worldview. But this isn’t a fear-mongering conversation — it’s about awareness, empowerment and action.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, HR leader or carer, this is a powerful, practical listen that will shift your perspective and strengthen your digital toolkit.
