As she did not want to drag an infant out to a government office she solved this problem the sensible way. She handed me the letter and said "Deal with that."” These are the opening lines of the latest Gist with friend of the shack, digital rights expert, solicitor Simon McGarr and he joins us now to discuss a good day for our rights.

The Remnant Radio's Podcast The Remnant Radio The Remnant Radio educates and equips believers in God's Word & Spirit, exploring Christian theology, church history, and the gifts of the Spirit in a manner that is engaging, relatable, and inspiring. Weekly, we bring together Christian influencers from various denominations to explore theology, church history, and the gifts of the Spirit. We don't always agree with the views of our guests. And, we don’t expect that you will always agree, either. But we are brothers and sisters in Christ, and we agree to humbly approach God’s Word so we can better understand it together. In each episode, we strive to offer constructive dialogue and healthy pushback without veering into argumentative or combative territory. Expect each Remnant Radio episode to be not only informative but also encouraging, entertaining, and, hopefully, inspiring. Our ultimate goal is to help every individual break out of their theological echo chamber and engage in the conversation. Visit our website Beyond the echo chamber Theo Boltman A podcast where a young teenager interviews people with different political views/opinions. Breaking Conservatarian Jeff C If you're tired of worn out talking points, outrage porn, and partisan spin, welcome home!Breaking Conservatarian is a podcast that brings you nuanced analysis of the issues of the day without the usual echo-chamber script of other right-leaning shows.  Compromising Positions - A Technology Podcast Compromising Positions The award-winning tech podcast that asks : "Are we the ones breaking the world?"Most tech podcasts are an echo chamber for builders. We step outside. We talk to the observers, the social scientists, and the deep thinkers who study the friction we create and the human systems we disrupt.Lianne Potter and Jeff Watkins strip away the industry fluff and pit academic research against the harsh reality of real organisations and real human incentives.We don’t just talk about AI, security, and automation; we explore the unintended consequences of our own "elegant" solutions.We’re here to look at tech through a different lens and ask the uncomfortable questions that the industry usually avoids. Because if you’ve built a system that has become everyone else's problem, you have to ask:"Am I the compromising position here?"
