How much screen time is too much? We chat with Francis from Touch Grass, a new New Zealand service helping young people and families navigate screen, gaming and gambling addiction.
We dive into why apps are designed to keep us scrolling, the warning signs of addiction, how social media is impacting young people's sleep and mental health, and whether an outright ban is really the answer. Plus, the team compares their own screen time stats... and one of us may have a problem.
If you've ever lost an hour to TikTok, doom scrolled before bed, or wondered how to help your kids build a healthier relationship with technology, this conversation is packed with practical advice and eye-opening insights.

Fresh off her Commonwealth Games gold medal, Zoe Hobbs joins us to relive the moment she stood on the podium, heard the New Zealand anthem, and saw the flag raised. She shares the emotions behind her historic win, reveals she was once told to consider events other than the 100 metres, and explains how she handled racing through torrential rain before clocking an incredible 10.93 seconds. Plus we look back at Jono's attempt to race Zoe and why he definitely shouldn't take any credit for her success...
