Episode 19: Sleep duration, The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl, and Sophie Scamps' food advertising Bill

We’re back! It’s been a productive break for both Kim and Liz but possibly the biggest and best news is that we’re now up one some of the major podcast platforms, including Apple and Spotify. So listening to us just got way simpler and there’s never been a better time to subscribe, if you haven’t already, and to spread the word about the podcast.This episode starts with a discussion of an article from China about sleep duration and internet addiction, that boils down to one very simple bit of advice (listen to find out what it is!)Then we have a review of an action adventure suitable for kids aged 8 and up, and Liz finally gets to hold forth on one of her pet topics: food advertising regulation. An Australian independent MP has put up a private member’s Bill and we talk through what it will do and how likely it is to pass.Show notesChinese paper: Jian-Xia Lu, Yu-Jia Zhai, Jin Chen, Qin-Han Zhang, Tian-Zhen Chen, Chun-Lei Lu, Zhong-Li Jiang, Lei Guo, Hui Zheng, 'Network Analysis of internet addiction and sleep disturbance symptoms' (2023) 125 Progress In Neuro-Psychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry 110737 DOI: 10.1016/j.pnpbp.2023.110737The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl review: https://childrenandmedia.org.au/movie-reviews/movies/the-adventures-of-sharkboy-and-lavagirl-3dThe Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl availability in Australia: https://www.flicks.com.au/movie/the-adventures-of-sharkboy-lavagirl/Sophie Scamps MP’s Private Member’s Bill: https://www.sophiescamps.com.au/healthy_kids_advertising_bill_2023The ‘teal’ phenomenon (confirming that 6 new MPs were elected in 2022, adding to 2 who were already in Parliament): https://theconversation.com/halfway-through-their-term-the-teal-mps-look-here-to-stay-and-may-present-a-huge-challenge-in-2025-216528Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/outsidethescreenpod/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/outsidethescreenpod/Substack: Children and Media Australia (CMA): www.childrenandmedia.org.au; www.facebook.com/australiancouncilonchildrenandthemediaKim’s clinic: www.cgiclinic.com Get full access to Outside the Screen Podcast at outsidethescreen.substack.com/subscribe
