CDT’s Tech Talk is a podcast where we dish on tech and Internet policy, while also explaining what these policies mean to our daily lives. You can find Tech Talk on SoundCloud,  iTunes, and Google Play, as well as Stitcher and TuneIn.

Jens-Henrik Jeppesen & Vincenzo Tiani on Tech Talk.

In this amazing episode, we bring you a preview of the upcoming European Parliament elections from our team based in Brussels. The European Union is driving a lot of tech policy globally and these elections have the potential to change the current dynamics. 

After that we make a joyously geeky turn and introduce you to Jamie Broadnax. Jamie is the founder of Black Girl Nerds and shares with us why she created the online community, how she manages it, and why representation matters so much in fandom. Jamie was also a speaker at the 2018 Future of Speech Online – be sure to watch her remarks!
