Who do TFGL think they are?

Tech for Good Live

Hello and welcome back to yet another season of the Tech for Good Live podcast. A podcast all about the ways technology does good in the world.

Starting from next week, we’ve got a jam packed season for you, delving into all things tech and good. And bad.

You’ll hear from Dan at BanktheFood. We’ll be talking to Phyllida Swift from Face Equality International, Rachel Pattinson from Open Lab at Newcastle Uni and Nicky Clegg will joining us from STEM Learning

We are looking forward to all of that and hope you are too!

In the meantime, we have something a little different for you for this bonus episode.

We often chat to our wonderful guests, but we don’t often tell you much about our team, other than of course important things like what their favourite pizza topping is, or if they were a cartoon character which would it be… so today we chat to the team with a series of mini interviews.

Who you will hear (and when) :

Tom Passmore (from 02:00)

Tom tells us about his work with Dsposal, and their mission to make managing waste easier for everyone. If you want to hear more from Tom and his exploration of the Circular Economy, check out our special podcast series all about it.
