Episode 3: In this week’s NSFW episode, Samantha is joined by local quadruple threat (comedian, author, educator and inn keeper), Cindy Pierce as they navigate the choppy waters of all things sex and social media. An expert at making the uncomfortable wonderfully engaging, Cindy takes Samantha on an illuminating and no holds barred tour of the developing human brain on porn, AI and general screen time. This episode pairs well with fresh air and touching grass.

Show Bio: Media shape our lives in ways unprecedented in human culture. How do we understand ourselves and the world we live in differently as a result? What have we gained? Lost? What choices remain in our power in relation to media, and what’s at stake? “Mediated Lives” aims to engage Upper Valley citizens across diverse professional and demographic sectors to share their viewpoints on these questions and help illuminate a path toward building a better mediated future in the Upper Valley.
