It's Complicated

Emily Cummin, CEO and co-Founder of Untangle, the social network for mourners, joins us to talk about why we don't like talking about our own death, but why it's so important that we do. And she discusses the digital legacies we will all leave behind, and how to make our wishes about those clear - to make life a little bit easier for those who love us. An incredibly positive and life-affirming episode with lots of food for thought .

The first of two episodes around the US Election looking at the subject of free speech and how we disagree and debate online. Toby Young is on the podcast this week talking about his personal experience of being cancelled in 2018, why he set up the Free Speech Union to help others who have been through similar experiences, falling foul of a Twitchfork mob, 'offence archaeology' and why he thinks it might be an uphill task trying to foster civil debate and polite disagreement in the digital sphere.

Have more racist incidents taken place online because of lockdown? Or is it that we are more aware of them, and reporting them more?

Why is the relationship between women and tech so complicated? With women's contributions to tech often hidden from history, girls are still less likely to choose a career in tech than their male counterparts. And, as users, the experience of tech - especially social media - is often much more complicated for women than it is for men. Our guest this week is Professor Sue Black OBE whose extraordinary contribution to technology, and commitment to empowering women to feel confident with it, propelled her astonishing career path out of poverty, to become one of the most influential women in tech in the UK, saving the Bletchley Park home of the WWII code breakers (the majority of them women), along the way.

What's the truth about sleep and technology? Are screens turning us into a generation of insomniacs, with nocturnal tech habits depriving of us hours of rest every night? Or are there some uses of screens which might actually help us in our quest to get a better night's sleep? Dr Guy Leschziner, consultant neurologist and clinical lead at the Sleep Disorders Centre at Guy's Hospital in London (one of Europe's largest sleep units), joins us to talk all things sleep and screens.

If we want to be activists, is clicktivism the way to go? Should we be rallying around hashtags and campaigns online, raising awareness of causes we care about? Is there something more meaningful we could be doing - or should we do both? Athena Kugblenu joins us to talk about political activism in the digital space, her experience as a stand-up comedian in lockdown and the varying degrees of success celebrities have had in their frantic efforts to get our attention in the pandemic.

How can we make better connections? Professor Juliana Schroeder has made her career out of studying social interaction and social connection, and how the way we use technology can both hinder and help us communicate. In a world where we're increasingly connecting via screens, what are the 'dos' and 'don'ts' for using email, video chat and social media? And what price are we paying when we hide behind our phones instead of seeking out opportunities to connect - even with strangers?

We're joined this week by YouTubers Jack Edwards and Vee Kativhu from The Study Tube Project.

Find out why Jack and Vee set-up their own channels, and what prompted them to come together to launch a solution for their hundreds of thousands of followers, who love to learn and the escape education can give them, and who suddenly found themselves stuck at home.
