Episode #7 - Safety and Security

An Aussie pub is raising money through a crowdfunding exercise to rebuild after a fire damaged the building and left the local population with nowhere to drink. It's great to see this new approach to fund raising is being put to socially important work at last.

A main theme this week which the discerning among you will have deduced from the title is safety and security.

We also talk about Mike watch-your-ears Tyson and his apparent funding of Bitcoin ATMs, the Ethereum launch, how to fix the world's broken voting systems, and lot's of other great topics, check the notes below.

Your hosts were Warwick Greville and Peter Robertson. This week's guests were Paul Ayling and Martin Davidson.

Our post production engineer was Leo Treasure ably assisted by Warwick Greville.
