    Show notes

    We’ve covered boys and we’ve covered sex, but we’ve never covered male sexual health… until now. To understand more about what they’re doing and why, we’re joined by adolescent medicine physician Dr. David Bell. This episode covers a lot of ground: sexual development, porn, mental health, and the intersection of culture + technology. And as always, there’s lots of advice about how to talk about it.

    Modern Marijuana: What You Need to Know Oct 13, 2026
    Show notes

    What you think you know about marijuana doesn’t entirely translate to today’s weed. Yes, they’ve got the same active ingredient — cannabis — but the dose is now far higher, making it essentially a new drug. Enter Linda Richter, a leading expert from the Partnership to End Addiction, to explain how the pot of generations past has changed. She breaks down the wide range of cannabis-containing products, how they’re used, their risks, and the extremely confusing legal landscape across the US. Most importantly, she guides us about how to talk about it with young people… a conversation that’s much more serious than it used to be.

    The Insidious Ranking Lists of Middle + High School Oct 06, 2026
    Show notes

    Kids have ranked other kids according to attractiveness, popularity, and sexual appeal for decades. But today’s tech platforms –– from social media to group chats to AI –– can amplify this old-school cruelty. Ranking lists reach many more people, with implications that can be extremely hard for kids to escape. This episode is dedicated to the hidden culture behind these lists: why they fuel humiliation and exclusion, how emerging AI tools fan their flames, what parents should watch for, and what schools and communities can do when an inevitable list emerges.

    Our childhoods may be long ago, but they don’t always stay in the past. The hurts and patterns we experienced can shape relationships with adults and our kids, especially during the complicated adolescent years. In this episode, psychoanalyst and author Dr. Galit Atlas explores the conscious and unconscious ways childhood wounds can influence our parenting and pathways for understanding our past without letting it dictate our future.

    Growing Up in the Age of Deepfake Nudes Sep 22, 2026
    Show notes

    AI makes it easy to create fake sexual content — changing what a person is wearing, the pose they are striking, or generating a video of them engaging in sexual acts. Teens regularly encounter these images on social media and in their group chats. The result: complex social, emotional, and legal ramifications. We’re joined by Dr. Supreet Mann, author of a new report about AI and deepfake nudes from Common Sense Media. She explains how AI-generated sexual content is affecting young people; the role social media plays in its spread; and what parents, platforms, schools, and policymakers can do to protect teens.

    The Puberty Update: Timing, Trends, and What We Still Don't Know Sep 15, 2026
    Show notes

    Just like the kids going through it, puberty data is constantly growing and changing. In this episode, we update listeners with the latest research about puberty: when it begins, what influences its timing, and how long it actually lasts (feels like forever sometimes!). ICYMI we fill you in on new findings about first periods and environmental impacts on hormone shifts, too. And we share at least one thing we’ve gotten wrong about puberty, even though we’re deep in the data every day! For anyone looking for evidence-based counterpoints to today’s click bait headlines, this episode is for you.
