Dive into The Giant Pod with Andy Wrintmore

On this episode, Andy is joined by technologist, entrepreneur, musician and all-round polymath, Tony Martin. Andy & Tony journey through the life and career that has seen Tony go from a support lighting technician at The Hacienda, through to touring with Nick Cave, before transitioning into his own music career with acts such as Hypnotone under Creation Records. Tony's career also saw him become the VP of Sony Europe; a role that came with many luxurious trappings, but was marred by a level of corporate politics that few ever reach. After exiting the ratrace, Tony cofounded Celestial Labs; a forward-thinking startup working on novel use cases and technologies involving swarms of drones; with plans to emulate fireworks, provide signage of critical information in times of crisis, and augment live entertainment events. Tony & Andy also discuss the momentum behind the #dronesforgood campaign that aims to fix the PR problem drones have earned through their military use, by promoting the ethical and humanitarian situations where drones can be used for good.

All in all, this is a fascinating and wide ranging conversation. If you enjoy it, please do tell a friend about THE GIANT POD with Andy Wrintmore.
