The Luddite Teens of NYC

Tech for Good Live

Welcome back to the Tech for Good Live Podcast! We’re still experimenting with our new podcast format (thanks for being our guinea pigs, listeners!) where we take a deep dive on a topic with our guest.

In this episode we’re joined by Westlake, one of the founders and creative director of Flannel & Blade and we are discussing the ‘neo-luddites’, a new wave of teens that seem to be turning their backs on their smartphones. We also take a quick look at some technology that is being used for good (for once!) with the Be My Eyes app.

Fay Schofield is your host and she is joined by Greg Ashton and Producer Paul.

Thanks to podcast.co for hosting our podcast.

Also, please don't forget this podcast is run by volunteers and we survive on sponsorships and donations. Right now one of our primary goals is to make sure all of our podcast episodes are accessible by making sure EVERY episode is transcribed. Sadly this costs money and we desperately need your help to make this become a reality! So if you've ever tuned into one of our podcasts or attended one of our events please consider chipping in the price of a cup of coffee.
