Hello and welcome to a new episode and a brand new season of the Tech for Good Live podcast!
A lot has gone on over the past couple of weeks… we can now all meet in groups of six outside, the internet has exploded with memes of the Evergreen blocking the Suez Canal, knocking Bernie and his mittens off the top meme top spot, and it’s a 4 day week. What could be better?
Fay Schofield is on hosting duties, and she’s joined by TFGL team members Greg Ashton and Tom Passmore
