Episode 1 – Consent

Welcome to the Intersection of Things! The Internet is a strange place. It’s full of unexpected intersections. We don’t just mean finding yourself at the Wiki page on turtle-breeding when you started at the history of curling. We mean when how technology and social change collide. This is a fortnightly podcast tackling technology issues from a 'smash the patriarchy' perspective. In Episode 1 we ask what is consent? From #MeToo to check boxes we talk about fighting for autonomy over our bodies. FIND US! Ruth Coustick-Deal: @nesient Marianela Ramos Capelo: @undazedandsuch Intersection of Things: @thingsintersect

We begin with “Shit’s going down in Hollywood”. What is consent? From the #MeToo movement to European data laws, from lip-reading CCTV cameras to choosing to take direct action, Ruth and Marianela discuss fighting for autonomy over our bodies, online and offline.
