Are Phones Destroying Real-Life Friendships? | Social Media & Connection (2025)

Are our phones reshaping the way we connect with others? It's a question that sparks debate. While some argue that messaging apps foster shallow connections, others believe they facilitate meaningful relationships. The truth lies in the complex interplay between technology and human interaction. In this episode, Julia Baird and Jeremy Fernandez delve into the impact of messaging apps on our friendships. They explore how these platforms can both enhance and hinder our ability to form genuine connections. But it's not just about messaging apps. The hosts also discuss the intriguing stories behind a message in a bottle found on a remote beach in Western Australia, and the disconnect between avoiding news broadcasts and bingeing Mafia content. Join Julia and Jeremy as they navigate the fascinating world of human connection in the digital age. We want to hear from you! Share your thoughts and stories with us.
