Back in March, which feels like decades ago in this COVID-19 era, Josh, Benet and Elinore chat about her journey from New Zealand to various spots around the world while designing websites and running her own mini agency along the way. There was also discussion around awkward situations working on the support desk for an unmentioned tech company 😬

In this show Dr Hitchcock chats with Sarah Turnbull and Abigail Tubuy from GymMaster.com, a gym membership software-as-a-service based in Christchurch, New Zealand. They discuss what they enjoy about working at Gymmaster, what it is like working with Linux on a day-to-day basis, supporting clients around the world as well as Nerf fight battle wounds.

Jamie Hamilton, Creative Director at Meta Digital, chats with Dr Hitchcock about his career as a web designer, developer and now creative director. He shares stories of making CD-ROMs and Adobe Flash sites, what's changed in the Christchurch web scene since then and how 2020 is shaping up for Meta Digital.
