Welcome to the Tech Policy Podcast.

I'm Evan Schwargerner.

On today's show, Brexit and the implications for technology.

Joining me to discuss this is Will Reinhart, director of, Will, you know, you're a friend

of mine and I don't know your title, and I didn't bother to confirm this before the show. Lots of preparation is

done here at Tech Freedom, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. Technology and Innovation, Director of Technology and

Innovation Policy, the American Action Forum. Great. So that's the title. And obviously at the Tech Policy

podcast, we like to be on top of all the breaking news stories. So now a month later, we're going to talk about Brexit.

So back in June, this was a really hot topic. And we like to make sure that it doesn't go too stale.

So this was, I think, the last possible day where people would find this interesting. And that's why we scheduled it this way.

Sounds good to me. All right. So, yeah, a while ago, the UK voted to leave the European Union.

And there was a lot of focus on the price of the power, the value of the pound and what it

means for financial markets, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

But shockingly, CNN and BBC did not focus a lot on the tech policy angles.

And clearly those of us who work in tech policy were shocked to find that mainstream media did not take up this angle.

But it is a really interesting angle.

And it might actually change your opinion about whether this was a good or bad thing based on tech.

So let's start with one of the three issues that we've kind of identified in our very rigorous

preparation for the episode.

I mean, I've done preparation, but...

I mean, yeah, that's your job.

You're supposed to come on here and tell people things.
