Zoom Fatigue Is Real

Welcome to another episode of the Tech For Good Live podcast. We’re officially in March 2021. The main difference between March 2020 and March 2021 is… well… the spelling. 

Here in Britain though, March means it’s time to fill up the paddling pool and get the BBQ going, all because it’s a whopping 10ºC

In this episode we are discussing social media a whole lot! Facebook has finally reached a lawsuit settlement after 6 years. Will we be “super following” each other on Twitter soon? And are we all suffering from “Zoom fatigue”?

Host Bex is joined by TFGL team members Greg Ashton and Kristiana Zunde 

Our special guest this week is Emily Casson. Emily is a multi-award-winning fundraiser, digital expert, and speaker. She is currently Digital Marketing Manager at Cats Protection and was named one of Fundraising Magazine’s Top 25 fundraisers under 35 in 2018.
