Bridget is winning
Bridget is the bomb dot com dot co dot uk. Now look that up on the internet. These hate one stars are why what Bridget does is important. Listen, subscribe, and get on board.
I learn something new every episode
I do like to think of myself as well informed but what I like about this podcast is how Bridget gets real subject matter experts to talk about the issues and really delves into them. So I always walk away with some new perspective from someone who really knows what they’re talking about. As a woman in tech and a white person who wishes to be the best ally possible to WOC in tech, too, it’s also really relevant for my job and how I spend 8 hours or more of my day, 5 days a week.
Worth a listen
Bridget is phenomenal and this is a great show!
