Talk Tech To Me
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.
