We’ve had very little to say about sexual content so far on the show, and this is the episode where all that changes. In Paper Round we look at an article about sexting (among other things) and later we Zoom Out to have a think about TikTok’s community guidelines on sexual content. In between, we hear a review of Ponyo, a Studio Ghibli animation from 2008, that’s suitable for children aged 7 and up.
It’s great to be back after a 3-week break, and we’ve now started on an intensive creation period before other parts of our lives take over in February and March. We’ll be on a fortnightly publication schedule until mid-April, for the same reason. It will be the same highly informative content you’ve been used to, just a bit more spread out.
As always, we’re really keen to hear from you with any feedback, comments or requests, so here’s a button to help that:
And finally, please if you’re a parent complete the classification survey that CMA and Fae Heaselgrave from UniSA have been developing. We’d love to have your input!
