Excuse Removers

Release Date: 06/02/2017

Description: Joining the team this month is the the podcasts very own super fan (only fan) Charlotte Rushton. No stranger to digital herself she works for digital agency and startup Wool Digital, along with Ben White stand in, Ian, she’s dropped in at the deep with the team particularly distracted this month. At some point we think they talk about personal data, tap cars (not tap cats, yet), the hot topic of the Wannacry virus and the appalling outing of the hero of the tale. If you can pick any of that out from the exceptionally rambling route they take this month then you probably deserve a medal, that or an article in the press about your love of pizza.If you’d like to get in touch with Charlotte or Wool Digital: Twitter: @WoolDigital @charrushtonWebsite: http://wool.digital/ Things this episode:http://www.nesta.org.uk/blog/its-time-start-taking-control-our-personal-data-seriously http://www.charitydigitalnews.co.uk/2017/05/02/world-first-for-stand-up-to-cancer/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-39931635 https://thenextweb.com/insider/2017/05/15/doxing-hero-stopped-wannacry-irresponsible-dumb/#.tnw_mPAzwBT1 https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/may/16/facebook-fake-news-tools-not-working http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2017/05/16/british-expert-foiled-cyber-attack-gives-7800-reward-charity/ Get in touch:Twitter: @techforgoodliveInstagram: techforgoodliveSnapchat: techforgoodEmail: hello@techforgood.live

Description: There was clearly something in the water this month as the team are a little giddy, perhaps making up for the anger last month. Don't worry though, they still rant and this time it's all about terminology, or it's miss-use to be exact.Not before we hear about the bleak outlook for charities, an interesting use of VR by @AnimalEquality and an NHS food app. There's also an update from one of their most popular fundraising campaigns from a previous episode and the team also try to invoke the legal ire of one the most famous vloggers on the planet.Things this episode:https://www.cafonline.org/about-us/publications/2017-publications/social-landscape-2017http://www.rednoseday.com/news-tv-and-events/redouthttp://ianimal.uk/https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/06/us/yelp-gender-neutral-bathrooms.html?smid=tw-share&_r=1Get in touch:Twitter: @techforgoodliveInstagram: techforgoodliveSnapchat: techforgoodEmail: hello@techforgood.live

Description: This Tech for Good Live podcast is a three-part series about WorkerTech, made in conjunction with our friends at Bethnal Green Ventures.In this second episode we talk about the importance of workers having a voice. The importance of employees being able to support one another, to organise and take shared action. As union membership declines and tech becomes ever more integral to work and our daily lives, has the ability to come together and to organise faded away? What role is tech playing in this space? We talk about the Google Walkout, hear about a WorkerTech case study to support Amazon employees, and we discuss remote working.Throughout this series we spoke to Dan Tomlinson from the Resolution Trust, Linda Wickstrom from Accenture, Fabian Wallace-Stephens from the Royal Society of Arts, Unman Mohamed from Organise, Guy Levin from Uber, Duncan McCann from the New Economic Foundation, Rachel Carey from Zinc and of course, Jessica Stacey from Bethnal Green Ventures.View a transcript of this podcast on the Tech for Good Live website.This podcast has been brought to you in collaboration with Tech for Good Live and Bethnal Green Ventures.Thanks to the contributions from Accenture, Royal Society of Arts, Resolution Trust, Organise New Economic Foundation, Zinc, and Uber.
