That said, the conversation went pretty well and we both came out a little wiser.

We talk about fake news, technology, access to technology and digital exclusion. We realise that if people just paid £3 a year for Facebook we could have avoided a lot of these problems...

This week Ivanka gives us a taste of the bureaucracy we can all look forward to post-Brexit. Michael nerds out describing some creative processes. Then we talk about the PICTFOR event as a starting point for a conversation about fake news that just kept on going. At one point Michael does an impression of God.
