The Connected News Podcast

In the latest Connected news podcast, Business Post tech editor Charlie Taylor talks to Business Post reporter Vish Gain on the introduction (or lack of as it turns out) of age verification systems by tech companies. In addition, he also chats with Emma Hanrahan about opposition to Manna's drone delivery service, and on Microsoft's warning after its servers were hacked. Finally, Charlie chats with Liam Fuller, a recent school leaver who has just raised $1.4 million from backers that include Stripe alumni for his startup, which automates stock purchasing for retailers using agentic AI. He also talks with Paul Bassat, founder of Square Peg, which led the investment into Fuller's company. Available to download wherever you listen to podcasts, the Connected News Podcast is brought to you by the Business Post in association with Ergo.
