Whilst the UK faces the confusing weather combo of freezing temperatures, snow and glorious sunshine. We're here to provide you with some ever consistent gloomy forecasts.
This week on the pod we look at why Wikipedia is putting the HIS in history. There's an exciting new youth focused development from NSPCC. And Facebook comes out swinging like… well, like Nick Clegg in a fist fight. And by fist fight we mean a 5,000 word essay on medium. Thanks, Medium.
Ben White is on hosting duties this week and he is joined by TFGL team members Greg Ashton and Sam Milsom
