Should you trust the Government's new Coronavirus contact tracing app? No. Grab a drink and find out why in The Virtual Pub - the perfect podcast for those who miss going to the pub in this particular pandemic.
On this week's episode:
- We pick the biggest pricks of the week - including Matt Hancock telling a female MP to watch her tone and people who waste online supermarket delivery slots with pointless orders like 15 single cans of beer.
- The Government's new track and trace app, explained in a way we can all understand by special guest and developer extraordinaire Kris Athi - what is it, why it's been built in a suspicious way (almost as if they want to track you after the pandemic) and why you shouldn't download it.
- And we run a lightning round of some good news, capped off with a quiz.
