Episode 12 - Chris Allen

Bright Club Southampton Podcast

Episode 12 features Chris Allen who performed at our seventh show in February 2017. Chris tells us about how easily distracted he can be by the internet when he’s supposed to be doing research on the use of the internet to improve the lives of patients with long-term illnesses and how he tried following cats on twitter to get away from the stress of modern politics and just ended up seeing political cats shouting at each other. Chris also talked about how beneficial the internet could be in helping people meet others with similar conditions to develop support networks and about the potential problems relating to who runs the websites that provide this patient support. Chris made reference to a story about a citizen tweeting with the President of Ecuador and I’d like to recommend this podcast on that story: https://soundcloud.com/replyall/25-favor-atender
