Crashed

Alex Hudson

In the Crashed podcast, the tech podcast about everything else, hosts Alex Hudson (@alexhuds) and Chris Stokel-Walker (@stokel) delve into the complexities of technology and its implications on politics, business and wider society. It’s smart, it’s nerdy and it’s two journalists trying to make sense of a complex tech landscape in the UK.
