Welcome back to another episode of the Tech for Good Live podcast. It’s a podcast all about using technology to have a positive social impact. Basically just a bunch of cool people talking about all the cool stuff that all the cool kids love. We’re super popular and have happy and fulfilling lives.


In this episode we’re talking about how the world has gotten a little more accessible. And we’ll be talking about spies. But apparently not in an exciting and fun way.


Bex is on hosting duties and she is joined by TFGL team members Greg Ashton and Paul Jakubowski


Our special guest is Arielle Tye, Head of Development at ProMo Cymru, a youth and community organisation specialising in digital services.
