5 episodes of The Green Room worth (re)listening to:

Episode #18: Is technology really making our lives better?
Who doesn’t have a love/hate relationship with Zoom after lockdown? There’s no doubt technology has positively impacted our lives. But there are downsides to this always-on world too. In this episode we discussed whether we should we completely switch off from technology – or if we could ever live without it…

Episode #4: Can one small change save the planet?
Our COVID-19 waste has already found its way to the bottom of the ocean. Eco-friendly options were becoming more and more mainstream, but what happens when the world comes to a standstill? This episode saw our hosts and guests wonder whether one small change could make a difference.

Episode #14: Why do we think about physical and mental health differently?
We all have mental health, in the same way we all have physical health. And our collective mental health sure took a hit during lockdown. Back then we asked why we only talked about it when something goes wrong – have things changed now? A fascinating conversation.

Episode #8: Does the high street have a future?
We already talked about the high street as we know it being under threat during season 1. We asked ourselves whether technology would shape our future high streets in ways we can’t imagine, and whether the way we shop is changing for good. It’s fair to say things have accelerated since this episode…

Episode #12: Should we be teaching kids to code?
The current environment has parents worrying about the future of their little ones even more than before. How do we ensure the next generation is properly equipped to enter the workforce, and make sure they’re not left behind? Worth revisiting this episode in light of the global recession.
