The British Post Office Technology Scandal
The British Post Office scandal saw more than 900 subpostmasters convicted of theft, fraud and false accounting. However, it was faulty account software called Horizon and made by Fujitsu, that was to blame. The personal tragedies of those involved have been documented recently in a TV drama in the UK. But what was actually wrong with the software itself? Susi O’Neill, business technology communications expert, is on the show to explain what went wrong with the software roll out and how mistakes like this can be avoided by other companies.
Why don’t you give SOEP a listen?
Actress, singer-songwriter, performance poet and SOEP subscriber Flloyd Kennedy has immortalised Somewhere on Earth:The Global Tech Podcast into fiction! She’s written, performed and produced a short episode of her own comedy podcast “Am I old yet?” asking the question – am I too old to listen to podcasts? Hear her character dismissing some of the myths about technology and podcasts and convincing someone to give us a try.
The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Angelica Mari.
