Talk Tech To Me

Millennial podcaster and journalist Pandora Sykes has almost 300K Instagram followers and a new book deal that had eleven publishers fighting over her. This week she reveals what made her delete Instagram from her phone and what her favourite Deliveroo order is.  Also tune in for her tips of how this busy mum-of-one deals with insomnia… 

Saul Klein is the VC who funds many a start-up's dream, ours included.  Here the dad of three tries to explain his way out of a terrible ScreenTime report on his phone - though he redeems himself with a 24 hour digital detox each week. He wants the next start-up founder coming through his door looking for cash to present him with his dream tech invention. Find out what it is by pressing play now. 

Today’s guest is photographer and filmmaker Rankin who once spent a whole summer picking potatoes to buy his first Sony Walkman. He refuses to engage with Facebook and recently deleted all his photos from his iPhone. Tune in and find out why… 

This week’s guest is journalist and author Sophia Money Coutts who has just earned herself a six-figure book deal following the release of her debut novel The Plus One last year. She talks about her £150 a month phone bills (srsly) and reveals what she did next after waking up hungover in Nashville to find she was being trolled on Twitter...

Jonathan Margolis, the author and “Technopolis" columnist  from the Financial Times talks to Jackie about trying to get  into  Steve Jobs’s basement where Apple, the world’s most valuable company first began, what his favourite family emoji really means and find out how he learned his new iPhone X had been secretly stalking him... 

Our first ever guest is TV star and journalist Anne Robinson. As she admits to Jackie,  her dog probably knows more about tech than she does. But being both funny and clever has its major advantages over true technophiles. Besides this is the woman who had one of the first car phones in the 1980s.  And you really have to find out what happened when she joined Tinder... 

What is it with our smartphones? As our relationship with them turns increasingly intimate and obsessive, we struggle to live with them, yet can’t live without them! In a new six-part series, join long-time journalist Jackie Annesley as she interviews a gamut of guests from TV star Anne Robinson to fashion photographer Rankin about what their phones and attitudes to tech reveal about their personalities. If you’ve ever wondered who sleeps with their phone, how people cope with trolls, what’s the story behind a most-used emoji and who bans Alexa from their homes, then this is the podcast for you. It might even make you feel better about your own weird phone habits. Or not.
