35. Simon Richardson from Safe on Social

Dads Group Podcast

Our guest this week is Simon Richardson from Safe on Social, where he speaks on the pleasures, perils and pitfalls of social media. As a high school teacher he was all too familiar with the impacts unhealthy social media exposure had on his students. As a nine-year Mayor of Byron Shire, a hotspot of virulent and strident political opinion and activism, Simon experienced extreme levels of cyberbullying and social media engagement. Now he also faces the very real task of raising teen and tween daughters solo and helping them navigate the online world- perhaps his most challenging task.
