With the recent Cambridge Analytica scandal and Zuckerberg testifying, we’re seeing lots of talk about Facebook privacy issues these days. Especially in our Facebook feeds. Very meta! From sticking around and tightening up your security settings to hitting the road for another social network (that might not be any more private), we’re talking about whether you should quit Facebook. Blasphemy? Or about freaking time?
You can listen right now, which you should, but hey, we get it. You’re busy right now, so be sure to subscribe to our podcast on iTunes so that you never miss an episode.

This week’s sponsor
We are huge musical buffs here at Cool Mom Picks, so we are beyond excited to welcome SpongeBob SquarePants The Broadway Musical as our newest sponsor. It’s no wonder that it’s a smash hit, with The New York Times calling star Ethan Slater’s brilliant, breakout performance, “a once-in-a-lifetime match of actor and character.”
The amazing songwriting from the likes of David Bowie, Panic! At the Disco, John Legend, Sara Bareilles, Steven Tyler, Lady Antebellum and more contribute to a spectacular score with a panoply of styles, from pop and rock to ballads and big musical theater numbers. Conceived and directed by the Steppenwolf Theater’s avant-garde Tina Landau, SpongeBob SquarePants The Broadway Musical is a delight for the entire family.
