Well, everyone else is doing it, so.... After the Guinness Book of Records turned down my attempt to get an entry as the only person in the world not to have a Podcast during the Covid-19 Lockdown, I decided that I had better bite the bullet and join in, So, here I interview Ben McKenna, CEO of Web Consultancy Totaal, and founder of Solidartech, a Community Interest Company which helps asylum seekers and refugees to get access to technology. Here we talk about the difficulties of making a living while doing something with a social purpose, why you shouldn't throw your old tech away (someone can always find a purpose for it), and what you can do to help someone who needs a bit of help in getting a computer. Hope you enjoy it. Find out more about Solidartech at http://www.solidartech.com including how to donate a machine that could help a refugee. ======================================================================== I was diagnosed with cancer in February 2020 see here There are a small amount of lovely people who have been providing me with some financial assistance to help me get through this situation, which is obviously made worse by the current pandemic. I won’t say who they are because I am not sure they want me to publicise it; but I am extremely grateful. If you feel like helping me out in any way, please get in touch or you can support me on a regular basis via Patreon or as a one-off here. Thanks for listening. I hope to see you all again when this is all over.
