This week’s episode continues the cute monkey theme from last week, with a review of Curious George. Not all movies based on children’s books are exactly great content for children, but the CMA reviewers thought this one really stood up.
Wrapping around that, we look at some research about gaming and creativity, and a UK government report about how children find their way to violent content online. (You’ll be amazed to know it has something to do with peer pressure.)
Does all of this stack up for you? Do you still have unanswered questions?
In housekeeping news, apparently now it’s possible to set up a private RSS fee from Substack to Spotify. So you’ve now got one less excuse for not subscribing!
