CAPC Podcast #19 – Kids and Screen Time, The Hermeneutic of Suspicion

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we discuss a wide range of topics and provide the kind of perspectives you’ve grown to love from our stable of thoughtful, talented writers and editors. Please consider subscribing, enjoying, and reviewing the show, all of which you can do just a few clicks away in iTunes or Stitcher.

Managing Editor Alan Noble is joined by staff writer Amber Stamper to discuss how we should be wary of reading with a hermeneutic of suspicion, and how screen time studies aren’t great at capturing the different varieties of screen time children experience, but are great at inducing parental guilt.
