Tech For Good Live

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week and on this weeks podcast we dicuss VR for mental health and a new Royal-approved free text helpline. We also talk about how AI is awful and also bikes. Our guest this week is Ben Fowkes, Commercial Director at Delib. Reminder that we're still in full crowdfunder mode! You may not know this, but we’re a team of volunteers and we survive off favours, late nights and lunch times so some cash would help us reach more people and help us champion using tech for social good. If you want to contribute to the work we’re doing, show us some love.
