Human Error - Pingdemic
The global pandemic has gone digital, and we’re now in the midst of a national ‘pingdemic’. Who could have predicted that returning to work, school, silent discos and kissing competitions would result in a rise in exposure to the real virus...by which we obviously mean “other people”? In this episode, comedian and computer scientist Olga Koch and journalist Hussein Kesvani look at who built the NHS COVID-19 app, brainstorm other potential uses for the technology behind it, and consider how it really compares to the incredibly functional and successful Matt Hancock app.
Human Error is a Daddy’s SuperYacht production for BBC Sounds.
