techno-culture

Technoculture podcasts are a joint effort I produce for the weblog and the Irish Times and reflect my broad areas of interest — topics I think will engage a general audience with an interest in technology, and a technology audience interested in technology’s wider applications and impact. Consisting of interviews and items about technology and culture — the intersection between technology and culture, politics, arts, sciences, society — they appear weekly or biweekly (depending on my work schedule!), on Fridays.
