Tech for Good Live

Everything is on fire as local lockdowns are declared. Tech bros are being tech bros on Twitter again, and the US political system is dying in real time before our very eyes. So, not much has changed since March.

Don’t despair though, because what better way to bring some joy and delight into your otherwise dreary day, than listen to us prattle on about Tech for Good.

We’re talking data and WASTE. And not just any old waste. Waste that the UK is exporting to Malaysia. Never let them tell you that British exports are on the decline…

Someone, finally, on the Tech for Good Live team, has become a bit respectable, so obviously we’ll be talking about that.

Oh, and Google has finally taken some action against the Proud Boys

Guest hosting this week is Sophie Walker. She’s joined by Tom Passmore and our special guest Edafe Onerhime. Edafe is an expert on effective use of data. She has over 20 years of experience working with data in business, for government and with non-profits.
