    Sep 10 2025

    At 91-years-old, Jane Goodall hasn't just seen a lot of change in the world – she's made a lot of change.

Today, when political leaders seem to be prioritizing the economy over the environment, Goodall speaks with Piya Chattopadhyay about how to stay hopeful, and to keep on sparking positive change.

The assistant professor of communications studies at Concordia University joins David Common to discuss his book Needy Media, in which he breaks down how our devices evolved – from the way they feel in our hands, to how they light up when we look at them – to make us more dependent on them.
