Screens, Snubs and Speech Reclaimed

As AI helps hear the unheard, we ponder a future where tech might mend more than just broken devices.

For over a year now, our series has delved into the impact of screen time on infants and toddlers. But it’s not all gloom—our latest episode sees a mother reclaim her voice with AI, while a listener shares his poignant tale of hearing his father's voice after half a century.


The juxtaposition is stark: while we explore the potential harms of overexposure to screens for young ones, we highlight tech that can truly bridge gaps and heal deep wounds. It’s a reminder that in an age where information can be as fleeting as a digital blink, there are still moments of profound human connection waiting to be discovered.


Join us on this journey through the digital age, where every screen might just be hiding a story of hope or healing. Who knew screens could hold such power—over our voices and, sometimes, over time itself?


Producer Imran Rahman-Jones and Vuyelo Ndlovu bring these stories to life alongside presenter Shiona McCallum, ensuring that each episode is both insightful and compassionate.


In a world increasingly dominated by screens, it’s moments like these that remind us of the enduring human spirit. May we all find ways to connect, heal, and perhaps even reclaim our voices, one story at a time.
