Hello out there, Late Night Woman's Hour podcast listener.

Welcome and thank you for joining us.

Every so often, we like to troll through the Late Night Archives for good old stuff you might not have heard.

This is one of my favourite ever episodes of Late Night Women's Hour.

Rihanna Pratchett, Sarah Kember and Dr Sue Black all joined us in front of a live audience

talking about women in tech. We were at the brilliant British Science Festival last year.

Gets a little bit sweary when we skip to the audience questions. So if there are kids around,

you might want to cover their ears for that bit.

But otherwise, very much enjoy this programme.

And if you like the show,

please do give us a rating on your podcast app.

Cheers.

It pretty much is Smart as in smart everything,

as in the new smart world.

And in academia, we've been telling ourselves for a long time

that we really need to retell the sort of stories
