Hello, you're about to listen to a BBC podcast, so I'd like to tell you where you'll find more just like it.

I'm Izzy Lee Poulton, an assistant commissioner for BBC Sounds, which means I'm involved in the whole podcast making process.

Whether that's developing fresh formats or facilitating eye-catching artwork, I helped project manage all the details that make our podcast stand out.

At the BBC, we've got access to storytellers and experts across a huge range of subjects.

It could be psychologists, comedians, celebrities or journalists.

No podcasts or day looks the same here.

So no matter what you like, check out BBC Sounds.

There's probably another podcast on there that you're absolutely love.

No. sounds. There's probably another podcast on there that you're absolutely love. Hello, this is TechTent from the BBC World Service, 25 minutes of the week's

biggest technology news from around the world. I'm Joe Tidy and with me is the newest addition

to our team of tech reporters, Shona McCallum. How are you enjoying the tech beat so far, Shona?

A great first week, Joe. I don't need to tell you or anyone listening how exciting the remit is.

And I'm just looking forward to getting stuck in.

It's great to have you. So on today's show, we're talking about climate change and whether your website is producing too much carbon.

We'll be taking a dive into second life, the

Metaverse platform that was around long before Mark Zuckerberg cottoned onto the idea

of living digitally. And we'll delve into the world of cryptocurrency scams. And,

Shona, what have you got for us? All I'm going to say to you is Netflix and Squid Game.

Very nice. Two of the biggest things I I think, in the world right now.

So here's a taste of what's coming up.

Yeah, I started getting, like, abusive messages from people, people reporting my account.

Oh, we went to zero!
