THE BRIEF
When Australia passed its world-first law setting a minimum age for social media, the headlines were global – but the experts were divided. Enter the Tech Policy Design Institute, who wanted to unpack the harms the law seeks to prevent, trace how young people’s use of social media became a flashpoint in the lead-up to the 2025 Federal Election, and explain what the legislation actually meant.
Across five episodes, Tech Policy Design Institute Executive Director Johanna Weaver spoke with the people directly involved in Australia’s world first online safety experiment – from psychologists and policymakers to reporters and regulators – offering an timely and insightful digestion on Australia’s social media age restrictions.
WHAT WE DID
Audiocraft facilitated and recorded both in-person and remote interviews for Tech Mirror, and editorial guidance on interview questions and host scripting to ensure a cohesive narrative across episodes. We handled the full audio edit and mix under strict deadlines, supplied detailed editing notes, and produced a suite of audio promotional materials to support the podcast’s launch and engagement.
