This is a pilot episode of a new podcast-like format that we're calling "Howtown Showdown." In it, we flip a coin to take sides in a contentious scientific debate and look for the strongest evidence supporting our respective positions.

The trends show rising anxiety, depression, and self-harm among teenagers in the United States and several other English-speaking countries. But does the evidence really show that social media is the problem?
