Deborah Frances-White

Switch Off with Konnie Huq

Available for over a year

Guilty Feminist podcast host Deborah Frances-White tries to wean herself off social media for seven days. Speaking to Konnie Huq, she talks about why it’s not as easy as it sounds. In the discussion, she puts forward the argument that her generation use social media in the same way as people in the 1920s approached “motoring” – as a pastime in itself rather than a means to an end; and her hope that the next generation have found a more meaningful way to use it. Switch Off is produced by Tom Green and mixed by John Scott for Ear to Ear.
