1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: Podcast, Play good Well on Buzz Night, Boston based media

2
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: executive and on this upcoming episode of Taking a Walk

3
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: that'll come out later this week, I'm pleased to present

4
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: Carl Marci. Carl, it's so good to see you. Nice

5
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: to see you, Buzz Carl. You have a new project

6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: that we're going to be talking about in the upcoming episode.

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: Do you want to tell everybody about the book? Sure.

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: The book is called Rewired, Protecting Your Brain in the

9
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: Digital Age, and it's been a seven year journey that

10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: started back in twenty eleven when I was at the

11
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: time Warner Media Lab doing some market research. Low and behold,

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: it's all connected. But seven years, Yeah, it took a

13
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: long time. The pandemic slowed things down a little bit.

14
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: I don't remember what was that. I try to forget

15
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: about that period. Well, you know, it's made the book

16
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: more relevant than ever because we're all spending more time

17
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: on screens than even before the pandemic, and we were

18
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: doing a lot before. So the book is really helping

19
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: people understand the impact of the use of all this media,

20
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: information and communication technology and how that impacts the developing brain. Boy,

21
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: it couldn't come as you said, at a more important time,

22
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: And did you ever give up on this and decide

23
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to be able to complete this wherever

24
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: those dark moments, You know, it's a good question. I

25
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: certainly recognized how hard it is to write a book.

26
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: It's a labor of love, particularly with three children in

27
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: full time jobs and all that. But I got used

28
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: to getting up very early in the morning when it

29
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: was quiet, and spending an hour or two and chipping

30
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: away at it. Well good. So that's this upcoming episode

31
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: out later this week of taking a Walk with Doctor

32
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: Carl Marcy. Thanks Carl,
