E261 - Are you lost without your phone?

This week on the show, we talk about how smartphones promise satisfaction and meaning, but a new study shows they deliver only more searching. We also answer some questions from the community about some short and fun ice breaker games for your teams, feeling lonely and isolated as a UXR, and conducting user interviews over chat.
