The study about kids roaming habits.
There was an episode on here where they discussed some Researcher hanging out with a group of kids in the 70s or so and seeing what they did in their time away from parents. This researcher came back 40 years later and tried to do the study again but the parents didn't let the kids out of the backyard and never out of adult supervision. Somebody linked an article about this before and I read it but I can't recall the researchers name and Google isn't helping much. Do you guys remember?

Was it this one by Roger Hart? https://cergnyc.org/archives/1665 I think the follow up is here https://cergnyc.org/portfolio/revisiting-childhood
Yes! Thank you so much!
Do you know which episode of AE Dr. Roger Hart is on? I looked but couldn't find him. Thank you!
He wasn't on the show Dax had a guest on and they were talking about it but unfortunately I've binged so many I couldn't tell you which. I wanna say it was within the last month or two of episodes.
I think it MIGHT have been on Charlie Day's episode? I think Charlie brought it up.
I am pretty sure you are right. I remember the study based on my drive back from a vacation and listened to Charlie Day on the trip back.
