Left To Their Own Devices - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This podcast is the first time I have heard a young person addressing the problems facing young people. In an excellently produced podcast, Ava navigates important and sensitive conversations about the impact of technology and social media on my generation. The stories are captivating, inspiring, tragic, and encompass the complexities of a derisive topic. This podcast is so important to understanding technology as a consumer and how it has impacted the lives of people worldwide. Thank you Ava and Toronto Star!

A gripping and informative must-listen for anyone in the 21st century. Thoughtful reporting, so engaging and a brilliant mix of research and personal stories. I appreciated the different perspectives the podcast featured.

For real. As a mom of two young girls I’ve been terrified. This podcast gives me something I can use to educate them as they enter tween years and start teasing for phones. I am beyond grateful to all who participated in this. Please don’t stop.

As a chronic technology over-user I was afraid of social media and similar tech (both for myself and for my kids) like I was afraid of germs or disease. This podcast helped me understand the mechanisms of social media, its risks, benefits, and I am now an informed user and parent.
