I've been thinking about the Garrick for over a decade ever since I was invited there for a university dinner, and noticed something odd about the place

It was great to talk to Hannah Moore for Today In Focus The Guardian to talk about how vvv weird it is

Pro tip: Make your media diet mostly stuff that took creators lots of time/work to create.

To that end, here are 2 recommendations:

1. Ben Bradford's series LANDSLIDE: npr.org/podcasts/51037…

2. michael safi's series BLACK BOX: theguardian.com/gnm-press-offi…

They're masterpieces.

Really enjoyed working on this episode of The Guardian’s Blackbox with michael safi on the harms of facial recognition & how 1 grainy image changed Robert & Melissa Williams’ lives forever.

I spoke to the Williams, Dr. Joy Buolamwini & the ACLU’s Phil Mayor theguardian.com/technology/aud…

Some news: I'm going on secondment for the rest of the year to present Today in Focus, the Guardian's award-winning daily news podcast, alongside michael safi and Hannah Moore and working with a sterling team of producers. Can't wait to get cracking.

.Sheffield Journalism Investigative students - listen to this great podcast! It features lots of the skills we've been talking about this week (and next week) - inc OSINT, verification and who runs a website.
All that registry, registrar and registrant shiz is worth knowing!

Absolutely hooked to Guardian’s new podcast on AI tech and the real world impact it’s having on the society. I’m excited but so so scared for this new world.

Absolutely unreal story here about #ai and its human impact. With two daughters it’s hard not to be concerned.

Some excellent investigative reporting from michael safi

Thank you The Guardian for this. Turning into a brilliant podcast series.
