Technically Human is a podcast about ethics and technology where I ask what it means to be human in the age of tech. Each week, I interview industry leaders, thinkers, writers, and technologists and I ask them about how they understand the relationship between humans and the technologies we create. We discuss how we can build a better vision for technology, one that represents the best of our human values.

Learn a little, Think a lot
I listened to this podcast as a part of Dr. Donig’s class at Cal Poly which focusses on the arts and ethics of technology. Every episode prompts the listener to expand their understanding about the necessity of technology in today’s culture and the positive and negative sides to its presence. This podcast was a joy to listen to, thank you Dr. Donig!
