Guess who’s back? Back again?

We’re almost back with the newest season of our award-winning podcast!

Igniting Change is your favourite podcast where technology meets social revolution.

Each week we talk to inspirational guests across diverse sectors, all united in their mission to harness technology for the greater good.

We all know the gravity of the global situation and the crises humanity is facing every single day. The news is a lot. It’s doomscroll central out there. 

This is exactly why we wanted to use our platform to spotlight the people who aren’t just commenting from the sidelines. They’re in the trenches working tirelessly towards very real change, and they’ve got the dirt under their nails to prove it.

Tune into Igniting Change and you’ll find it’s not all end-of-the-world forecasts.

Missed out on Season 5? No problem!

We’ve made it super easy for you to catch up on all our previous seasons here.

What's Igniting Change all about?

If you’re passionate about making a difference and curious about the tech that can get us there, then you’ve found your people!

We build Tech for Good and offer our fantastic clients digital solutions that have a very real impact and change millions of lives for the better all over the world.

But don’t just take our word for it, check out some of the work we have done with Vodafone & Glastonbury, UNHCR, Virtual Doctors, The UN Refugee Agency, Lush, Global Forest Watch, and the American Red Cross.

So with all those incredible custom software builds keeping us busy, you might find yourself asking, “As a tech agency, why have a podcast?!”

Good question!

Besides being tech enthusiasts, we’re big believers in collaboration and transparency. The more conversations we facilitate about harnessing technology for positive impact, the more we hope to drive much-needed change.

What started as a way to (virtually) sit down with our guests to understand why consumers aren’t making more sustainable choices, has evolved into weekly conversations with brilliant minds across many fields, spotlighting how technology is being used for global good.

Igniting change has grown a lot since Season 1…

Now we’ve had 75 episodes, 64 hours of listening, and 3 awards!

From the frontlines of global advocacy with Amnesty International, through the wild heart of conservation with WWF, to the lifesaving missions of the American Red Cross and beyond into the conservation efforts of Greenpeace – our lineup has contained some seriously inspirational humans along the way.

And there’s more to come! Here’s a sneak preview of our lineup for this season…
