TFGL Weekly - Papers, Please

Another change to the lineup in this holiday season, Bex & Jonny are back from their American adventure and producer Paul is back on the buttons after a trip to Barcelona (spoiler alert, Barcelona is a nice place to go on holiday, who knew!?)

This week, Sacha Wynne and Fay Schofield ably deputise for Ben and Greg as the team re-visit CASTs digital principles, the rise of employee activism at big tech companies and somehow end up giving a collective thumbs up to a video game released in 2013, it's some cutting-edge tech news reporting.
