            Welcome to World Wide Waste, a podcast about how digital is killing the planet and what to do about it. What is quality when it comes to web design, web development, web management? How do we know the customer is having a quality experience? How do we know as a web professional that we are doing a quality job? These are questions Karen Peeters, General Manager, Omni-Channel Management at Toyota Europe has been asking. I must apologise that the quality of the recording of Karen's voice is very poor. We had technical difficulties. However, the quality of the information that Karen delivers is extremely high. In fact, it is some of the most important insights that I have heard in 25 years of working in web management.

            • Olive Minor 'Covid-19 What the anthropologist sees'
              We need your support. Show some love by becoming a Premium Member.
              It seems that any Zoom call we are having now - be it business related or with friends and family - we have to navigate a beginning of this call about how we're all experiencing lockdown with COVID-19. What is becoming clear is that many of us are all having the same everyday cultural experiences, which in turn makes it more difficult to share our stories about our lives - homeschooling, baking, exercise, hair getting long, toilet paper. Stories are central to cultural capital, but when they are so obvious and similar, this signifies an era that our lives have been impacted on greatly. We are living in a dystopian reality where those everyday norms that we have taken for granted for decades and centuries are overnight classified as social stigma, pollutions of what is morally right. Sitting on a park bench talking to friends face to face, playing basketball, going to a funeral - our physical bodies have become objects of morality. 
               
              In this episode, I unpack many of these contradictions of social norms with fellow anthropologist, Olive Minor. Olive lives in Seattle, and previously worked for Oxfam in West Africa, where she used her anthropological expertise amongst many things to understand how culture shaped attitudes to Ebola. She describes the work she did there and then we use some of her experiences to understand the current cultural landscape related to COVID-19. Let's get into the conversation. Welcome to the Decoding Culture podcast.

                In this episode, Andy Polaine chats to Katie Long, Design Connector and all-round amazing person at Fjord. At the beginning of March, Katie flew from the USA to Berlin for a birthday party. And then caught the coronavirus.

                        In this episode, I speak with Chris Gray, former content moderator for CPL a service provider and content moderation organisation for many of the large tech businesses. We speak about Chris’s experience moderating for Facebook, what that looks like on a granular level, in terms of the processes involved in a ‘day in the life’ type conversation. We speak about what led to the final days of Chris’s employment and also what followed for Chris in terms of impact on his life - that’s resulted in Chris taking legal action and bringing Facebook (along with many others) to court. 

                        I should point out that there are topics in this conversation that may act as a trigger for some people, and if listening with children, may not be appropriate.

                            Today on the show we have Rebekah Murphy a UX Designer based in Sydney, Australia. I met Rebekah early last year and met a few times in a mentorship capacity.

                            Since then Rebekah has successfully transitioned into her first design role and is now the Chapter Lead for This is HCD in Sydney where she’s hosting events for the human-centred design community out there.

                            It’s a great episode that takes you on the journey from being introduced to Design via her job at Accenture in Ireland all the way through to hopping on a flight to Australia and training and landing her first job as a designer.
