Tech Week in Review | Ep. 57

TWR returns with solo host & founder, Nigel Dixon-Fyle, covering 15–21 June, 2026, after a brief format rework. This episode distills four major stories that defined the week and asks a single question: Who controls technology?

 

Key points: the week was defined by control — corporate M&A, government recalls, regulatory acceleration of grid access, and new limits on children’s platform access — and the episode explains why each story matters to consumers, enterprises, and policymakers. Contributors referenced include host Nigel and the TF production team; Adam & Eve are slated to return in future episodes.
