Podcasts about cell phones

Considering how often we utilize technology, we don't spend as nearly as much time as we should protecting ourselves against the inherent vulnerabilities and bad actors who would exploit the very tools designed to improve our lives. The fact of the matter is, cybersecurity has become a huge issue (only to become more relevant as technology advances). My guest today, Dr. Eric Cole, has spent decades learning, understanding, and teaching people how to protect themselves and their loved ones from cyber-threats. Today, we talk about the apps that are more dangerous than others, how best to keep your children safe from online predators, what he calls, cyber-hygiene, why passwords are dead and what to do about it, and why social media will never fully protect children.

This is the third in our series of episodes on Jonathan Haidt's book The Anxious Generation. In Part 1, we looked at the evidence for the teen 'mental health crisis.' In Part 2, we reviewed the evidence for whether social media is causing the so-called 'teen mental health crisis. In this episode, we begin looking at what to do about the effects of phones on kids - starting with school cell phone bans. Phone bans are spreading like wildfire across America, with 21 states either studying or already enforcing restrictions, up from none just a few years ago. But before you advocate for - or against - a ban at your child's school, you need to hear what the research actually reveals. This episode examines real studies from Denmark, England, and Hungary, plus the eye-opening results from schools using those tamper-proof Yonder pouches that promise to solve everything. You'll discover why the "golden age" of unsupervised childhood play that experts want us to return to wasn't actually golden for most kids. More importantly, you'll learn what's really driving students to their phones: unmet needs for choice, agency, and genuine connection. Through a fascinating deep-dive into one teacher's blog post about his school's phone ban, you'll see how current approaches may be missing the point entirely, and what students themselves say would actually help them engage more in school. Which states are banning cell phones in schools? 21 states are currently studying or have already enforced cell phone bans, including Florida, Louisiana, Virginia, Indiana, Oklahoma, North Dakota, and New York. Are cell phone bans in schools effective for improving academic performance? Research shows mixed results with only tiny improvements on test scores, and most studies don't control for other factors that could explain the changes. Does banning phones in school improve students' mental health? Studies from multiple countries found no significant improvements in student anxiety, depression, or overall wellbeing from cell phone restrictions. Are cell phone bans in schools a good idea? The evidence suggests that school cell phone bans address symptoms rather than root causes - students turn to phones because their needs for autonomy and connection aren't being met. What happens when schools try to enforce cell phones being banned in schools? Students find creative workarounds: stabbing through security pouches, buying unlock magnets, bringing decoy phones, and creating underground phone-sharing economies. Why do students want their phones during school hours? Research shows students use phones to meet basic psychological needs for choice, agency, and genuine connection that traditional classrooms often fail to provide. What you'll learn in this episode The real data on school cell phone ban effectiveness - examining studies from Denmark, England, Hungary, and the U.S. that reveal surprising results about academic and mental health outcomes Which states are leading the cell phone ban movement - a breakdown of the 21 states implementing or studying restrictions, from Florida's pioneering ban to New York's upcoming policies...

All this week we've been looking at the thought and planning that went into the Philadelphia area's Delaware County Christian School's establishment of their well-received and highly successful phone free school policy. The school wanted to address a rise in mediocrity. Administrators write, We are far too easily pleased with superficial counterfeits for the good, the true, and the beautiful, mediated through a five-inch rectangular smartphone screen. We are far too easily pleased with half-hearted intellectual effort on school assignments, though we are called to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. The question was then asked, What steps can we take to overcome mediocrity and steward what God has given us, to pursue excellence throughout the day for His glory? We applaud the Delaware County Christian School for thoughtfully and theologically creating a path we all must walk, managing our smartphones, rather than allowing them to control us and our kids.

Tune in here to this Thursday edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the show by reminding the everyone that we are in control of our government. In 16 months, we'll vote in the midterm elections and once again cast our ballots to determine who we wish to represent us. We see what the democrats want: chaos in our cities, riots in our streets, and division in our communities. Make your choice with these facts in mind. Do you wish to see more of this dysfunction around the country, or do you prefer to continue to seek American peace and prosperity? We're joined by the founder of JunkScience.com, Steven Milloy, to talk about the climate hoax and what the Big Beautiful Bill is doing to combat these scams. Milloy suggests that the government stop streamlining approval for "green" energy such as solar and wind farms. Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

All this week I'm looking at the thought and planning that went into the Philadelphia area's Delaware County Christian School's establishment of their well-received and highly successful phone free school policy. One pattern of life in today's world that the school wanted to address was the ever-present reality of interruptions. As an introduction to their policy, the school shares these words: the average American checks his or her phone one-hundred and forty-four times a day. Research indicates that there is an addictive component to the dopamine rush in our brains associated with smartphone notifications and multi-tasking. As a result, any deeper learning, critical analysis, problem solving, or creative process that we undertake is almost always interrupted, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. The policy writers than ask this question which we all must consider: What steps can we take to limit these interruptions and increase students' capacity for protracted focus?

All this week I'm looking at the thought and planning that went into the Philadelphia area Delaware County Christian School establishment of their well-received and highly successful phone free school day policy. The first pattern of life in today's world that the school wanted to address was noise. As an introduction to their policy, the school shares these words: “The modern age is filled with noise everywhere we turn. Teens and adults alike fill almost every quiet moment with earbuds, music, podcasts, news, doom-scrolling through social media, and even emails. As we encourage young people to carve out even ten to twenty minutes of sustained quiet time with God and His Word in their personal lives, the practice seems arduous at best and impossible at worst.” The school then asked this question that all of us should ask ourselves: “What steps can we take to limit the noise and cultivate windows of quiet in the lives of our school community members, especially our teens?”

The murder trial of Larry Millete, who is accused of killing his wife Maya, could move out of the South Bay. Plus, the Padres may have lost yesterday, but fans got to witness some hometown history in the making. And, later today, board members with the San Diego Unified School District will vote on a permanent policy addressing cell phone use on campus. NBC 7's Steven Luke has these stories and more, including meteorologist Sheena Parveen's forecast for this Tuesday, July 8, 2025.

In his book “The Anxious Generation,” social psychologist Jonathan Haidt offers a series of recommendations for how to stop the epidemic of youth mental health issues. One of those recommendations is straightforward and blunt: no smartphones in schools. Fortuneately there's a growing movement among schools, parents, and even some students themselves to make this necessary move. I've had conversations with administrators at the Delaware County Christian School just outside of Philadelphia regarding the decision they've made to take phones out of students' hands for the duration of the school day. The move by DCCS was made thoughtfully, with reflection on cultural realities along with practical and theological reasons for establishing a phone-free school policy. As expected, this new policy has been widely applauded in the school community, and resulted in several positive outcomes. Listen in all this week as we talk about why we need phone-free schools.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 122: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump is the greatest president of all time... at losing public support! Almost overlooked in the typical maelstrom, analysis by the last King of 538: Trump's Net Approval Rating has fallen farther, faster, than any other president since they started keeping the statistic in 1953. On Inauguration Day he was at Net Plus 10. After 100 Days he's already at Net MINUS 10. At this rate, by August he'll be at NET MINUS 30. He is losing an approval point every FIVE DAYS. By itself, the Net Minus 10 is also a record. And that's just the start of Trump's polling crater. Internal Republican Congressional Campaign polling has him at a Net Minus Seven inside vulnerable swing House districts. He is collapsing faster than he is collapsing the economy! This sets up the prospect of a Democratic landslide next year, if only the Democrats will TRY. Chuck Schumer's response? More bipartisanship in spending bills! B-Block (33:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Minnesota Congressman Tom Emmer wants an ethics investigation of Minnesota Congresswoman Angie Craig because when he was too terrified to host a town hall in his district, she did. Their districts ADJOIN. DC US Attorney nominee Ed Martin sinks further into deceit over Hitler cosplayer Hale-Cusanelli. And Trump demands Penn apologize for letting transgender athletes compete or he'll withhold $175 million in funding. My suggestion? Penn should declare that Trump got his degree from Penn's Wharton School by deception and sue HIM FOR $175 MILLION. And new developments in Bill Maher's self-immolation. He did something ELSE about Trump - eight years ago - that he attacked Larry David for doing last week! C-Block (45:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: If I didn't actually invent the mobile phone, there is every chance I was the first to use one on the streets of New York City. It was this time of year, about 35 years ago, and it still shocks me that I actually stopped pedestrian traffic on 42nd Street just by answering a call.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Daybell Trial-Flipping the Narrative: Burger King, Cell Phones, and a Suspicious Timeline If Lori Vallow really left the house after Charles Vallow was shot, why was she at a Burger King drive-thru 42 minutes before the 911 call? That was the first red flag for Detective Ariel Werther. When he started digging into the July 11, 2019 shooting of Charles Vallow, it didn't take long to find cracks in Lori's story. She claimed she left the house after Charles was killed, took her son JJ to school, and went about her day. But Werther, who's well-trained in mapping GPS and cell phone data, wasn't buying the timeline. He reviewed Charles' T-Mobile GPS data, which showed his device was still pinging. That data led Werther to believe Lori hadn't gone to a CVS, like she originally claimed, but to a Walgreens instead. After calling seven CVS locations and turning up nothing, Werther rang up Walgreens, asked if anyone matching Lori's description had come in to buy flip-flops, and—bingo—got a hit. Surveillance footage and a receipt confirmed she was there. But the biggest problem was still the fast food stop. Werther checked the surveillance footage at Burger King. He confirmed the timestamp was accurate and watched as Lori pulled through the drive-thru in a red rental car at exactly 7:54 a.m. Yet, the 911 call reporting Charles' shooting wasn't made until 8:36 a.m.—a 42-minute gap that Lori had conveniently glossed over. That gap grew even more suspicious when Werther ran the drive time from the Burger King to JJ's school and back. Given Arizona traffic, it would've been nearly impossible to make that loop in 12 minutes. Werther also obtained Charles' hotel receipt from Tru Hilton and the key card Lori claimed to have found in his wallet. He and Detective Moffatt later searched the hotel room, collecting Charles' laptop and other personal items, which were logged by the Chandler Police Department. Meanwhile, cell phone records from Lori, Charles, and Alex Cox were subpoenaed. Werther compiled a detailed PowerPoint showing GPS data from Charles' phone the morning he was killed. It painted a picture of movement—where the phone had been, what times it had pinged—useful, but not conclusive. After all, GPS shows where the phone is, not necessarily who's carrying it. Still, the electronic trail, plus the physical receipts and surveillance footage, started to stitch together a timeline that didn't align with Lori's version of events. As all of this played out in court, Lori herself took the unusual step of questioning Det. Ynclan during the trial. She asked about her own behavior, whether she was cooperative, if she handed over Charles' phone willingly (she did), and why she had two phones at the time. She even asked about whether stressful situations make people thirsty—an apparent effort to justify why she ordered two bottles of water at Burger King after a supposed fatal domestic altercation. Ynclan noted Lori's calm demeanor as “odd.” Her husband had just been shot. Her brother pulled the trigger. Her kids were there. Yet Lori was described as “chattering” in the car, more like someone heading to brunch than leaving the scene of a homicide. The defense tried to draw attention to minor details—how hot the Arizona pavement was in July, whether walking barefoot would be uncomfortable, and how long the altercation lasted. But it all felt like noise. Because the signal was clear: Lori Vallow said she left the house after the shooting. The evidence says she hit up Burger King 42 minutes before calling 911. #LoriVallow #CharlesVallow #TrueCrime #CellPhoneData Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

After calling seven CVS locations and turning up nothing, Werther rang up Walgreens, asked if anyone matching Lori's description had come in to buy flip-flops, and—bingo—got a hit. Surveillance footage and a receipt confirmed she was there. But the biggest problem was still the fast food stop. Werther checked the surveillance footage at Burger King. He confirmed the timestamp was accurate and watched as Lori pulled through the drive-thru in a red rental car at exactly 7:54 a.m. Yet, the 911 call reporting Charles' shooting wasn't made until 8:36 a.m.—a 42-minute gap that Lori had conveniently glossed over. That gap grew even more suspicious when Werther ran the drive time from the Burger King to JJ's school and back. Given Arizona traffic, it would've been nearly impossible to make that loop in 12 minutes. Werther also obtained Charles' hotel receipt from Tru Hilton and the key card Lori claimed to have found in his wallet. He and Detective Moffatt later searched the hotel room, collecting Charles' laptop and other personal items, which were logged by the Chandler Police Department. Meanwhile, cell phone records from Lori, Charles, and Alex Cox were subpoenaed. Werther compiled a detailed PowerPoint showing GPS data from Charles' phone the morning he was killed. It painted a picture of movement—where the phone had been, what times it had pinged—useful, but not conclusive. After all, GPS shows where the phone is, not necessarily who's carrying it. Still, the electronic trail, plus the physical receipts and surveillance footage, started to stitch together a timeline that didn't align with Lori's version of events. As all of this played out in court, Lori herself took the unusual step of questioning Det. Ynclan during the trial. She asked about her own behavior, whether she was cooperative, if she handed over Charles' phone willingly (she did), and why she had two phones at the time. She even asked about whether stressful situations make people thirsty—an apparent effort to justify why she ordered two bottles of water at Burger King after a supposed fatal domestic altercation. Ynclan noted Lori's calm demeanor as “odd.” Her husband had just been shot. Her brother pulled the trigger. Her kids were there. Yet Lori was described as “chattering” in the car, more like someone heading to brunch than leaving the scene of a homicide. The defense tried to draw attention to minor details—how hot the Arizona pavement was in July, whether walking barefoot would be uncomfortable, and how long the altercation lasted. But it all felt like noise. Because the signal was clear: Lori Vallow said she left the house after the shooting. The evidence says she hit up Burger King 42 minutes before calling 911. #LoriVallow #CharlesVallow #TrueCrime #CellPhoneData Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?
