Tech for Good Live

Welcome to another episode of the Tech for Good Live podcast. 

We’re still recording these episodes remotely on plague island but we’ve got a great episode lined up for you, filled to the brim with stories like...

Fake news on Facebook. Don’t worry though, we’re pretty sure it’s a one-off.

Prince Phillip, even though dead, is still able to contribute to the UK being less equal. Skillz.

And YouTube decides to…. *checks notes* favour white supremacists over Black Lives Matter. 

So yeah, that all sounds fun right?


Joining Bex on the show this week we have TFGL regular Greg Ashton and making a second appearance on the podcast, our special guest is Sarah Miguel.

Sarah is Head of Business Development at People's History Museum (PHM), a Trustee at MASH and will soon be joining the board of Future Everything.
