Hey everybody, welcome to episode number 400 of the Blister podcast. I'm Jonathan Ellsworthy,

founder of Blister, and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over at

blisterreview.com and on our YouTube channels, Blister Review and Blister Studios.

Today, Mountain Gazette owner and editor Mike Rogie and I are talking about the current state of media,

including the recent landmark legal rulings against social media platforms.

We talk about the future of technology regulation,

parenting in the digital age, and we talk about some very cool things that are going on at

Mountain Gazette, and we give a little preview of the forthcoming issue of Mountain Gazette

number 205. Now, fair warning, Mike and I also spend some time catching up at the start of this conversation.

So if you don't feel like hearing about our recent time together in Tahoe or what new ski

I really, really came to love this past weekend, well then just use those time stamps that we

include in every single podcast we put out, and you can then jump to whichever particular topic

you like. Okay, a couple other things here. First, we made a big announcement on last

Friday's Gear 30 podcast about our blister summit. The spring

skiing and riding is excellent right now. It's snowbird. I know that might seem hard to believe

because it might be very, very warm where you are and not very snowy. But take a look of any

recent photos or videos coming out of Snowbird right now,

and we're telling you, folks, the riding is really good, and the forecast is looking really

nice too. And given that we want everyone to be able to come join us at our Blister Summit,

who would like to attend and be there for this

end of season party, well, we are cutting the registration rates for the remaining spots to

$100. So get yourself registered while spots are still available, and then keep an eye out
