p.s. Dear parents & teachers,
Alt-talk opens a new horizon for podcasts. It is not just for information sharing but also for sharing soul and vibes with younger generations. Through each programme presented by specialists, listeners can experience and absorb various approaches to social media and general digital questions.
Ground. Check in. Prebunk. Debunk. Don’t panic.
Amanda brings a British and Spanish background to her work as an educator. Growing up between languages and cultures eventually led her to study English and Spanish in higher education, while an early rebellious streak had already appeared in the form of fundraising and social causes.
That instinct gradually developed into teaching and, later, her role as Head of Programmes at Shout Out UK, where she works with young people on political and media literacy.
In this first Alt-Talk, Akky speaks with Amanda about how her personal experiences shaped her path into education, and how she now approaches social learning from different angles.
They also ask a bigger question: can simply switching social media off really protect younger users, or might it push them towards less visible and harder-to-regulate spaces?
