Lawful But Awful

Tech for Good Live

Hello fellow lonely people and welcome to another episode of the Tech for Good Live podcast. I imagine right now you’re wondering why you even bothered to tune in to this show. Maybe you’re having a bad day. Maybe you regularly make bad decisions like this. Either way, thank you! We appreciate it. We’re in this together now. Just waiting for it to end. But together

We have some interesting stuff to talk through though. BBC’s CAPE team have launched their toolkit for designing an inclusive workspace, so we get into that and the #showthesalary campaign has come to an end, well kind of, but maybe not really.

Joining Tech for Good Live’s Jonny and Rebecca Rae-Evans is Ben Fowkes, Commercial Director at Delib.
