Hello and welcome to yet another episode of the Tech for Good Live podcast. It's a podcast all about using technology to have a positive social impact.

Welcome to another episode of the Tech for Good Live podcast! If you're new here and you're wondering what the hell you've stumbled into, we're a bunch of pals that gather together once a week to talk about technology being used to make the world a better place. Well, in all honesty, we often end up talking about tech being used for evil but “Tech for Bad Live” isn't as catchy is it?! And there are still glimmers of hope out there of wonderful people doing amazing things with tech. So as we soldier on into murky corridors of tech, this week we are talking about the food price index, a new internal aid charity campaign, fancy offices and dogs! Tech for Good Live pod regular Greg Ashton joins host Fay Schofield and our special guest this week is Louise Pavoni, Digital Engagement Manager at  Leukaemia UK. Discussed in this episode: Stat of the week  The CPI and the retail price index (RPI) are used interchangeably to document the rising price levels of groceries and household goods across the UK. Yet they only tell a fragment of the story of inflation, and grossly underestimate the true cost-of-living crisis. In 2012, 10 stock cubes from Sainsbury's Basics range were 10p. In 2022, those same stock cubes are 39p, but only available in chicken or beef. The cheapest vegetable stock cubes are, inexplicably, £1 for 10.  We're pricing the poor out of food in the UK – that's why I'm launching my own price index - The Guardian Charity news of the week Major international aid charities combine forces in a new campaign "We the helpers".

Hello nerds! Welcome to another episode of the Tech for Good Live podcast. It's a podcast all about using technology to have a positive social impact. It's fun, it's friendly, it's frustrating but it's always super professional and polished. Our one regular listener will know that was actually a hilarious joke.

Hello and welcome to the hellmouth. This is an episode of the Tech for Good Live podcast – a show all about using technology to do social good. In this episode we are peeking behind the curtain of TikTok's algorithm. For those listeners who are Bex's age, TikTok is a social media product, and not a tiny mint that provides up to two hours of freshness. We're talking about the RNLI team getting some grief from losers and haters. And we're talking about Pegasus. Not the winged horse that we all know and love, but instead about those awful men who are probably listening to everything we say. No, not Instagram, the other awful men. Joining host Bex in this fight against evil we have TFGL team members Greg Ashton and Fay Schofield.  And we have a return guest with us! The excellent Lauren Coulman from social impact consultancy Noisy Cricket!  Stat of the week:  It takes less than 2 hours for Tik Tok to work out what videos it wants to show you. In some cases less than 40 - Wall Street Journal Charity news of the week:   RNLI volunteer verbally abused for doing their job - Third Sector Tech news of the week Demonstrations and inquiries: the global impact of the Pegasus project - The Guardian How NSO became the company whose software can spy on the world - The Guardian Forensic Methodology Report: How to catch NSO Group's Pegasus - Amnesty And finally…  Nice idea for wasteful tech ---------------------------- Listeners, what did you think?

Welcome back to another episode of the Tech for Good Live podcast! We’ve a lot to talk about this week, including: The planned “Instagram for Children” spin-off seems to have been scrapped by Facebook. That’s good, but surprising news, because Instagram has always been indifferent about the harm they cause kids, so let’s see what happens there. Big tech and the incoming anti-trust action. That sounds incredibly boring, but we’ll try to keep it fun. And a really concerning “innovation” in prison tech.  Joining host Bex on the show this week we have TFGL team members Fay Schofield and Ankur Asthana. And our special guest is Ross McCulloch, Director of Third Sector Lab who specialise in digital strategy & service design for charities. He is the founder Digital Trustees Scotland - a movement which aims to get a tech professional on every charity board. Ross developed and facilitates the highly-successful SCVO Digital Senior Leaders Programme. He also runs the CharityComms Scotland Networking Group and Third Sector Geeks WhatsApp Group to help strengthen the charity digital community. This week’s topics: Stat of the week 35 children’s and consumer groups call for Instagram for children (under 13) to be scrapped - NY Times Charity news of the week Younger donors, increased trust in charities - Charity Digital Tech news of the week Is the coming antitrust wave against big tech a distraction? - Newsweek Ambassadors to Big Tech -- good idea or giving tech too much power? - Wired Rant of the week Tech for Bad: This Company Monitors Prisoners In Xinjiang.
