TFGL2020 - S4 - Ep5 - Glitter

Welcome to the Tech for Good Live podcast! It’s a podcast all about technology being used for good. If you’d figured that out already… well… that’s what they call in the biz “good branding”.

In this episode we’re talking about Facebook and democracy. We look at some COVID data which is apparently beautifully presented. That seems like the priority right now. AND we’re talking about the charity Reclaim having to go to war with an absolute arse.

Bex is on hosting duties and is joined by TFGL team members Jonny Rae-Evans and Greg Ashton
