ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Welcome to GuardianGamer’s podcast. This is a show that explains what parents and their children need to know to game safely online. We will explain who and what GuardianGamers are and what they do.
We will explore online privacy, talk to gaming kids and their parents, explain misperceptions of video gaming and explore possible futures in the industry for kids who are passionately involved with the medium.
In this episode, we introduce GuardianGamer Founder Heidi Vogel Brockman and Chief Guardian Terrence (TJ) Mick. Sarah Lai Stirland is the episode’s moderator/interviewer/parent stand-in.
Heidi, TJ and Sarah discuss the fact that during the pandemic, many kids spent hours online connecting with their friends and meeting new people. Often they didn’t know what the kids were really doing online. That insight is what led to a new business idea for Heidi.
Note: We highly encourage parents to listen to these episodes with their children to spark off conversations about gaming and what your kids are doing and learning online. You’ll learn a lot about your kids’ lives, we promise.
Production notes: This episode was written and produced by Sarah Lai Stirland and engineered by Gabe Grabin.
