Live Podcast: Back to School, Screen Time, and the Good Life

In this live audio episode of Blind Techie Geek Speaks, recorded at Sandy Beach in Swansea Massachusetts, host Kathleen Masciana offers a thoughtful reflection on the transition from summer to the back-to-school season. The episode explores screen time, family routines, personal responsibility, and the value of maintaining a balanced relationship with technology. Drawing on Socrates’ view that character is shaped by the choices we make, Kathleen considers how everyday practices—such as device-free family time, healthier bedtime routines, and meaningful conversation—can support learning, self-control, and genuine connection. As a new school year approaches, this episode provides an encouraging perspective on using technology with purpose while remaining grounded in the values that matter most.
