#659 Phones, Porn, Vaping — Are Parents Losing Control?

In this episode, Niall sits down with Jason Osborne from Gript Media to discuss his controversial view that abstaining from pornography should form part of the Catholic Confirmation pledge for young people.

The conversation explores growing concerns about children’s exposure to explicit material at increasingly younger ages, the impact of smartphones and internet access, rising phone dependency, vaping trends, and wider pressures facing families today.

Listeners also weigh in — some arguing modern parents have dropped the ball, while others say soaring living costs and busy dual-income households are the real challenge.

Have parents failed this generation, or are they simply navigating a much tougher world? Tune in for a thoughtful and sometimes provocative discussion.
