  • I'm giving 5 stars for Fevzi but that Eddie Nestor is such a pain in the arse that I nearly cancelled this podcast.

    I know he's not on every podcast, thank goodness, but I want to hear about technology, not about some pumped up DJ's ideas on the future of the human race.

10th July 2026 - AI Tech News & Reviews on LBC

10th July 2026 - AI Tech News & Reviews on LBC
Q: Can you explain why this is such a pressing issue for families right now?
The host and guest discuss how innocent posts can be misused by AI to sexualize images, the legal gaps, and the importance of avoiding posting images of children online to prevent commodification or exploitation.
15th June 2026 - Discussing the Social Media Ban on BBC Surrey & Sussex
