Erschienen ist der Titel auf dem 2026 veröffentlichten Album „Visions“. Mit „Landline“, auf Deutsch „Festnetzanschluss“, wählt Alice Merton ein Bild, das auf den ersten Blick aus der Zeit gefallen scheint. Doch genau darin liegt der Reiz des Songs: Er erzählt von Nähe und Distanz, von Erinnerungen und dem Wunsch nach einer Verbindung, die Bestand hat. Unser Popmusikexperte Udo Dahmen ordnet den Song für uns ein: Was macht „Landline“ musikalisch aus? Welche Entwicklung zeigt Alice Merton als Songwriterin? Und warum trifft gerade das altmodische Bild eines Festnetztelefons den Nerv der Gegenwart?

Technology journalist Bill Bennett joins Susie to talk about how a move to "digital minimalism" is seeing younger parents reinstalling home phones to combat smartphone burnout, or switching to "dumb" phones. But how does that work in New Zealand where the old copper phone network is about to be turned off? A Chinese court has ruled it's illegal to replace human workers with AI and major battery manufacturers are moving to deploy sodium-ion batteries for home energy storage - could this be a major breakthrough that will substantially cheapen EVs?

John on Trump’s Iran Deadline:  This will MAKE or BREAK his legacy // Kids Are Discovering the Joys and Pains of the Landline // LETTERS

Parents around the world are worried about their kids' screentime, and for some, they feel they have the solution: the landline.Many of our kids won't know what a landline is if they saw one, but is it time to reintroduce this old technology?Esther McCarthy is Weekend Columnist with the Irish Examiner, and joins Ciara and Shane to discuss.

Ian and David look at a very different kind of religious comedy--one that may have you praying for the filmmakers!Robert Ingraham's Premarital is like an Unrated Meet the Parents, as filtered through the lens of Protestantism. Jim O'Heir stars as Stu Whitaker, a Michigan pastor whose daughter, Sophie (Kelly Jakle), is about to marry a non-believer named Alan (Mark Hapka). Concerned for the young couple's spiritual salvation, Stu and his large, wacky family devise a plan to bring Alan into the faith during the weekend of their wedding. Premarital is unlike any film the guys have seen.This wide-ranging discussion begins with a spoiler-free assessment before diving into the bold screenplay by Ingraham and co-writer Margaret Bienart, which drops as many f-bombs as truth bombs (and, unfortunately, broad comedy clichés).The question is: Does it work?Premarital opens in theaters this Friday, April 3rd.Support Kicking the Seat on Patreon, subscribe to us on YouTube, and follow us at:XLetterboxdInstagramFacebookShow Links:Watch the Premarital (2026) trailer.Fun Fact: Jim O'Heir was Kicking the Seat's first recurring podcast guest!

Welcome to episode 136 of the Still Spinning Podcast! Next week we will return to our “normal” love recording of the podcast on Mondays at 7 PM CT on all the socials with the regular drop still on Wednesday mornings. Things have been busy for the team so we apologize for the lack of LIVE we have had. Speaking of busy, Dan was traveling this past week and came across something in the Kansas City airport that he really loved and it was gender-neutral bathrooms! You read that right, Dan LOVED the experience. He tells us all about the pros of these in particular and we find out what Europeans hate about bathrooms in the US.  They say everything old becomes new again and the most recent trend we see coming back? LANDLINES. That is right, dust off your rotary phone folks, landlines are making a comeback. The reasons have more to do with child safety and limiting social media but regardless of the reason, we are intrigued by their return. And finally, Dan was in a few Ubers this week and the smell really got to him. So he has some advice for Uber and we would love to know what you think as well so check us out! Thanks for joining us on week 136! We will see you next week.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're very much in planning mode - talking babymoon ideas, future parenting rules (we NEED your thoughts on the bed-making debate), and yet another round of nesting. We start with coffee shop talk (yes, the same one we've been talking about for the last two weeks), why good habits take forever to build while bad ones take about two days, and the current parent uniform: sweatsuits with mystery stains. From there, it's full nesting energy (again) - labeling everything (western shorts, IYKYK), debating whether kids are born Type A or if we accidentally make them that way, and getting into the surprisingly divisive question of whether kids should make their own beds (possibly our first real parenting style disagreement live on the pod??). Then we get into technology and boundaries: the no phones in bedrooms rule, what age kids are actually getting phones now, and how we somehow ended up with a landline (yes, really). We celebrate Maria's one-year anniversary with us, spiral into celebrity power couples, Grammys discourse, Valentine's Day card exchanges at school, and our ongoing “no gifts” debate. Mid-episode, we start planning our babymoon (US only, no car required - please send help), talk through joint bachelor/bachelorette parties (fun or a hard no?), share our #1 travel hack that immediately lowers stress (with or without kids), and revisit the ongoing dog conversation - why everyone says we should NOT get one yet, and whether we're secretly a no-pets house… until the day we're not (I still cannot believe Harrison asked if I'd consider a pet spider). We wrap with mall nostalgia (or lack thereof), a classic Bicker of the Week (pool vs. no pool - IN TEXAS), and a new behavioral tactic we'll keep in mind for those future meltdowns: connection before direction. LOVE YOU GUYS. Thanks for listening!!!!

The new social media minimum-age laws have landed — and parents are feeling everything from relief to rage. Eight weeks in, are our kids safer… or has nothing changed? In this episode, Justin Coulson unpacks what’s working, what’s failing, and the 3 essential things families must do now to navigate the digital world without losing connection. KEY POINTS Why the ban isn’t about cutting friendships — it’s about removing algorithmic manipulation from kids’ brains What big tech didn’t see coming (and why they’re closing youth accounts fast) The unexpected wins for kids: less anxiety, more freedom, real play The losses: platform migration, VPNs, fake ages, and parent-enabled workarounds Why this is a parent problem, not just a kid problem The 3 actions every family needs to take now QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “We’re not banning friendships. We’re protecting kids from big tech systems designed to manipulate their brains.” RESOURCES GMee Phone (parental control phone) Rebecca Sparrow's free resource for parents: Beginner phones Landline/feature phones as alternative communication strategies Face-to-face play and offline gaming suggestions ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Have the WHY conversation — Kids don’t comply with “because I said so.” Explain algorithms, manipulation, and wellbeing.2. Offer real alternatives — Phones without cameras, offline gaming, playdates, landlines, outdoor time.3. Model digital discipline — If parents doom-scroll, kids will too. Show healthy device habits. LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE IF: You’re confused or frustrated by the social media ban Your child is begging for social media access You want safer digital habits without isolating kids You want less anxiety, more connection, and more play See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brian From reflects on how Christians can witness with humility and conviction in a post-Christian culture, emphasizing listening, action, and peacemaking over winning arguments. Along the way, he explores stories that spark joy and self-examination—from an orange-juice lottery miracle to a surprising experiment in breaking phone addiction with an old-school landline. The hour closes with a challenge to move from comfort to action, from outrage to peace, and to live out a faith that is visible, rooted in God’s Word, and marked by love for others.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Despite some initial skepticism, Jonathan Haidt's crusade against kids using smartphones has been more or less completely vindicated. Which got us thinking: what's he worried about next? In the ideas segment, Cal looks closer at three new technological harms that Haidt has begun sounding the alarm about. Then, in the practices segment, he details a somewhat eccentric technology strategy that he and his wife have deployed in their own home to keep their kids away from smartphones. Below are the questions covered in today's episode (with their timestamps).

Scott ruins Kaitlin's post Christmas joy by trying to be helpful. Emily thinks she's gotten “lenient” about her home standards. Kaitlin is on a fluoride-free journey, but probably not for the reasons you think. Scott survives a life-altering procedure while Kaitlin heroically assumes the role of “caretaker” and makes sure everyone knows it. Jag-wire. Kaitlin and Scott narrowly miss a pileup caused by a rogue mattress. Also, why are men treated like delicate children in healthcare? Kaitlin had 3 babies!!

Give us three minutes and we’ll give you everything you need to know for the day in this fast-moving edition of Nina’s What’s Trending. From Gen Z bringing back landlines (yes, really) to a surprising list of the world’s most “inauthentic” cities, this segment is packed with pop culture twists you won’t see coming. We also dig into why some iconic travel destinations are suddenly getting dragged online, plus a major dessert brand making a bold move that has people very divided.

If you're looking for an uncommon thinker, how about a tech industry veteran developing and selling landline phones in 2025 — and selling out of them in the process. Chet Kittleson is the co-founder and CEO of Tin Can, a Seattle startup making Wi-Fi enabled landline phones designed to let kids talk to friends and family with just their voices. No screens, no AI. GeekWire recognized Kittleson as one of our Uncommon Thinkers for 2025, a program presented in partnership with Greater Seattle Partners honoring inventors, scientists, and entrepreneurs transforming their industries in unexpected ways. In this episode, he talks about the moment at school pickup that sparked the idea, why his own kids don't own devices, what happened when he eliminated screens on family road trips, and the $12 million seed round led by Greylock that will fuel the company's next chapter.

In this week's episode of Not Alone, Valeria is joined by Gary for a fun, unfiltered, not-so-deep chat about the latest pop culture headlines, and a few real-life reflections along the way. Fresh off Valeria's dream trip to Peru, the two unpack everything from “Nobody Wants This” Season 2 and Kristen Bell's Instagram backlash, to Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's surprising split. They debate modern marriage, from separate bedrooms to taking your spouse's last name, and share their thoughts on chivalry, “the princess treatment,” and who should pick up the bill. Valeria challenges Gary on talking about pop culture (who proudly doesn't keep up) and why sometimes, it's okay to care about the “dumb stuff.” It's a light, honest, and hilarious peek into how two very different minds see love, fame, and everyday life.  Shop my looks from this episode: https://shopmy.us/collections/2843418?tab=collections Follow me: https://www.instagram.com/valerialipovetsky/  What I talked about:  0:18 - Start of the episode 0:25 - Follow @notalone.pod on TikTok 0:38 - Dream trip to Peru debrief 2:09 - Trying something new in today's episode with Gary 4:05 - “Nobody Wants This” season 2 6:30 - Converting to Judaism 8:33 - People criticizing the show 10:58 - Fortuna Skin Ad 12:35 - Kristen Bell IG post backlash 16:20 - Married couples with separate bedrooms 20:11 - Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban ending 19-year marriage 21:30 - “Babygirl” Movie 24:30 - Defining a successful marriage 27:29 - Thoughts on Katy Perry & Justin Trudeau dating 29:44 - Husbands taking wives' last name 31:15 - Gary's vintage kick 32:38 - Confusion around Katy & Justin 34:59 - Is Chivalry dead? 36:39 - Splitting the bill 39:15 - Bringing back the “Princess Treatment” 41:29 - Landlines are back 43:08 - Dumb phones vs. smart phones for kids 45:15 - Not easy talking to Gary about pop culture 47:10 - Advice from Amanda Hirsch 47:33 - Caring about dumb stuff Learn more about your ad choices.
