Some teens have been using the comments section of an NPR podcast as a group chat to communicate with one another.
Ella, 14, is not allowed on social media. She is, however, allowed on Spotify. She and about 20 friends, most of whom were girls with parents who didn't let them on social media, decided to communicate with one another by creating playlists on Spotify, naming them something along the lines of "chat here," adding one podcast, and telling their friends to chat in the comments.
