This is not the future we were promised.
Like, how about that for a tagline for the show?
From the BBC, this is The Interface,
the show that explores how tech is rewiring your weak and your world.
This isn't about quarterly earnings or about tech reviews.
It's about what technology is actually doing to your work and your politics,
your everyday life, and all the bizarre ways people are using the internet.

Hello, in an important announcement,
we are going to be doing a live episode of Newscast reacting to the result of the Gorton and Denton by-election at seven o'clock in the morning on Friday.
I will be joined by Chris, Alex, Joe Pike, and many other friends of the podcast.
And it will be live at seven o'clock.
And it will be on all sorts of platforms, BBC iPlayer, BBC News Channel.
You will be able to listen to it on the live news stream on BBC Sounds.
And you can even get it through your smart speaker by asking it to say, BBC Sounds, play live news.
So there are loads and loads of ways.
You can hear the potentially quite gonzo episode that we will be doing reacting to this very big moment in the political calendar of this year.
