In this week’s news roundup, host Mike Cosper and editor in chief Russell Moore reflect on Robert Putnam’s 20-year-old book, Bowling Alone; what to do about a society that has only become more disconnected since then; and the impact this has on even one of life’s most simple pleasures: going out to dinner. Krista Boan joins in to discuss smartphones and how best to set you and your kids up when introducing this new technology. Stick around to hear about which apps Cosper, Moore, and Boan can’t live without.
