Unless you have being living under a rock, you will know that for a week in February 2021 Facebook banned news content in Australia. After falling out with our federal government over details about a mandatory news code. This topic has been covered extensively with other Australian podcasters, nevertheless, it has got us thinking? What are the implications? Can we quit for good? Is there another viable alternative that cuts down on Social Media addiction? Today's guest Aussie ex-pat Jill Schuller has ticked all of those boxes. Last year she quit Facebook and Instagram, and this year she created Sundayy, a mindfulness-based social media app, that lets you check in with your friends once a week on a Sunday. Think of it as digitalized brunch. We at the Friendly Futurist love this kind of technology story. Simply because it demonstrates tech as a human experience. To check Sundayy out go to sundayy.app it is now available to download on IOS and Android. What topics and or trends would you like to hear about?

🍌🍌🍌 We all love bananas! 🍌🍌🍌 But did you know? Our societal emphasis on perfectionism has created impractically high aesthetic standards for supermarkets. So much so that 25% of all fresh produce does not leave the farm gate and goes straight into landfill. Yes wanting that Cavendish with a perfect curve is killing the planet! Today's guest Rich Taurino from Sydney has a solution with his startup The Good and Fugly. Rich goes around to the farmers in the greater Sydney area and buys up all of the rejected fruit and veg and boxes them up and sell them. Sure the tomatoes have a few blemishes, nevertheless, they are still as tasty in your salad. To support this noble idea check out www.goodandfugly.com.au And be sure to give Rich our love and support. What topics and or trends would you like to hear about?

Don't get us wrong Australia is a great country, it is just our federal politicians, both Liberal and Labor are dragging the chain when it comes to climate change action and weaning off fossil fuels.

Back in 1979, Buggles sang Video Killed The Radio Star. 42 years later is the radio star making a comeback? We think so! In the second age of audio, podcasts, audiobooks and internet radio has seen huge growth. Paradoxically it is all thanks to AI. As the machines take over. Then the human race is more inclined for reaching out for the human touch. That is our conversation today with Graham Brown, from Pikkal & Co, Singapore. Graham has a degree in AI. As well as has published over 1,000 podcasts so this makes him the right expert to answer this question.
