About a month ago a few friends cc’ed me into a conversation with tech for good live on Twitter by friends
Would anyone want to use the @techforgoodlive podcast platform for #BlackLivesMatter? Is there a pod you want to make about being black and working in tech? About bias in AI? Whatever you want, it's yours. We can help if you're new to podcasting. Is this a good idea? DM me

After a while we finally got talking agreed a schedule and I went about getting people to join me on the agreed 3 podcasts. I won’t lie, getting time with busy people in the middle of lockdown was difficult but I managed.
Now I’m very happy to see the first one with David Eastman, Erinma Ochu, Ethar Alali and Naomi Mwasambili
Enjoy it, email and rate techforgoodlive on google podcasts and itunes. Look out for the next two and thanks to pod.co for sponsoring techforgoodlive
I did talk about doing more around #blacklivesmatter previously and now you can see some of the action I took to date.

The last one of the three special edition podcasts was released just recently. I blogged about them a while ago, but now they are all available for your listening pleasure.
Tech for Good Live: (Black Lives Matter Special) – Cancelling Cultures (transcript and more info)
Tech for Good Live: (Black Lives Matter Special) – Canaries in the coal mine (transcript and more info as its ever so topical at the moment)
Tech for Good Live: (Black Lives Matter Special) – Time For Change (transcript and more info)
I want to thank all my guests who joined me on the podcast, as a lot of people agreed in principle but never stepped up and joined me. Annette, Ade, Vimla, Erinma and Naomi, you were all wonderful and a breath of fresh air.
Massive thanks to Ethar & David (pretty much my co-hosts) for joining me on every single podcast!
As every podcast ends, if you have anything to say about what was said, let techforgood know on twitter or email. Thanks to podcast.co for hosting the shows and finally a huge thanks to the tech for good live team.
