Episode #156
We’re Throwing Away the Technology Keeping Us Healthy: The Hidden Crisis of Healthcare E-Waste
Sep 29, 202625 min
Medical Devices, Critical Materials and the Race to Build Circular Devices Digital healthcare is producing a fast-growing mountain of electronic waste. Glucose monitors, wearable sensors and medical devices can contain lithium, copper, gold and rare earth elements, yet many are discarded or incinerated rather than repaired, reused or recycled. The DiCE project has spent four years investigating how to keep these devices, components and materials in circulation for longer, without compromising patient safety. Can Healthcare Cut Carbon Without Becoming Less Resilient? Healthcare faces another huge challenge: reducing emissions while dealing with climate change, extreme weather, energy insecurity and fragile supply chains. We explore a new blueprint for future-proofing healthcare, and ask how technology, smarter systems and changes to infrastructure could make healthcare both lower-carbon and more resilient. The programme is presented by Ania Lichtarowicz. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/somewhere-on-earth-the-global-tech-podcast--6924871/support .

Episode #155
When Your Data Becomes a Weapon: Myanmar and Customer Privacy
Sep 22, 202627 min
Myanmar, Customer Data and Human Rights After Myanmar’s military coup in 2021, authorities demanded access to sensitive customer information held by a major Norwegian telecommunications company. Data linked to customers suspected of opposing the military was handed over, according to allegations in a new civil case. Now, more than 1,200 customers are part of a legal action in Norway seeking damages over the sharing of their data. A Norwegian court has ruled that the case can proceed as an opt-out class action. We examine what happened, what the lawsuit alleges, and the wider question of whether technology companies have a responsibility to protect customer data when operating under authoritarian regimes. Could Yeast Build Houses on Mars? Then we leave Earth for Mars, where future astronauts will face an extraordinary problem: how do you build a home when resources are scarce, temperatures are extreme and the atmosphere is just a fraction of Earth's? We explore how yeast could potentially be used to create building materials for future Martian habitats and whether biology could provide a way for humans to manufacture what they need to survive on another planet.

AI Is Getting More Powerful. Can We Regulate It Before It’s Too Late?
Sep 15, 202635 min
The future of AI, self-improving systems, cybersecurity, AI for Good and the fight for global AI regulation How powerful can artificial intelligence become — and can governments, industry and international organisations keep pace? We examine the rapid development of generative, autonomous and agentic AI, the cybersecurity risks that come with increasingly powerful systems, how AI can be used for good around the world, and whether global standards and regulation can provide meaningful guardrails without stopping innovation. The programme is presented by Ania Lichtarowicz with David Girvin, Bilel Jamoussi and Louise Humpington.

Internet Shutdowns: 10 Years of Fighting to Keep the World Connected
Sep 8, 202623 min
10 Years of #KeepItOn: Documenting the Global Fight Against Internet Shutdowns For a decade, Access Now’s #KeepItOn campaign has been documenting and fighting government-led internet shutdowns around the world. We look at why governments keep cutting people off, the impact on communities, elections and human rights, and what ten years of monitoring and campaigning has taught us. With shutdowns still increasing, has the fight to keep the internet on become more important than ever? Lawyer less Contracts: When AI Starts Making Our Legal Deals AI is changing the way contracts are created — but what happens when it moves beyond writing them and starts negotiating them too? We explore the rise of “lawyerless contracting”, asking whether AI could make legal agreements cheaper and more accessible, or whether we're handing machines — and the companies behind them — too much power over our legal lives.

AI Medical Devices: Are We Using Them Before We Know They Work?
Sep 1, 202623 min
AI in Healthcare: 1,357 Medical Devices Cleared — Only 3 Tested on Patients A new PLOS Digital Health study reveals a huge gap between AI medical devices being cleared for use and evidence that they actually improve patient outcomes. We look at what FDA clearance really means, who is being left out of clinical trials, and why countries such as Uganda could face particular risks. Apple Spyware: What Your Threat Notification Really Tells You An Apple spyware warning can be frightening but it doesn't necessarily mean your phone has been successfully hacked. We speak to Mohammed Almaskati, Director of Access Now’s Digital Security Helpline, about digital forensics, protecting sensitive information, why “no evidence” doesn't always mean you're safe, and how changing our everyday digital behaviour could help protect us.

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
