Episode 12 / Thoughts on Social Media & The Internet

podcast

Sep 2

Show description:

When it comes to new social media channels, one of us is an early adopter whereas the other is a self-proclaimed curmudgeon. This week we discuss our social media usage and how this technology has (and has not) improved our lives. We cover blogs, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, and Periscope and weigh the pros and cons of each, laughing the entire time.

See that share button at the bottom of this post? We'd be over the moon if you could share our show with others... even though Chris hates all the "share" buttons that have permeated everything.
Keep those five star reviews coming. We'll read them on the air, and there's some mysterious iTunes algorithm that uses our ratings to advance our show in the podcasting listings, so every five star review helps get the word out about Mom Jeans & Dad Jokes.
