Disappointed in the Jonathan Haidt interview
Been a pivot listener for years, and sometimes listen to this podcast as well. I was excited when she interviewed the author of the anxious generation. In this interview, Cara was unreasonably argumentative with the author even though her perspective is pretty much just because “she is a mother of 4” and she seemed to think that she was better informed that him, although she clearly was not. It felt like she was making excuses because she had let her own teenage children access phones and social media too early. I listened to the interview with her son a few weeks ago. It was obvious that he does have some of the same phone issues described in this book! It just seemed like she was trying to make excuses for her own choices, even though the author explains in the book that people really didn’t know better back then. She argues that this is going to be so hard to implement, but I really don’t think that’s the case! I have a son in middle school and my group of friends decided years ago that our kids are not getting cell phones until much much later! It actually hasn’t been that hard to hold out. And it will only get easier more people get on board. My son is 12 and doesn’t even ask for one. His good buddy across the street is 14 and knows he’s not getting one either. The tide is turning in the unlimited access of tech for kids.

More reviews of On with Kara Swisher
I’m always smarter and better equipped after a Kara Swisher interview. Great first chat with Cuomo!

Swisher is brilliant as ever! Has there ever been anyone better at guiding a tour “behind the curtain” than Kara?

I appreciate the honest banter between Kira and the guests. Insightful and authentic.
