Leaning In to Social Media

Zoe Strimpel explains why she's decided to lean in to social media, and not worry about how much time she spends scrolling.

"I have come to the conclusion that for a grown woman with many cares, it's mostly beneficial, interesting, soothing and yes, also sometimes even useful" Producer: Sheila Cook Sound: Peter Bosher Production Co-ordinator: Liam Morrey Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith
