The boys are back with a regular episode this week!

In big social media news, the Australian government plans to ban social media for children 16 or under. Could this actually work or is this a bluff?

And Bluesky continues to hit on all cylinders. But will it last?

Marketing winners include direct book sales and Jaguar.

Rants and raves include ChatGPT for travel and the Elvis documentary.
