<p>Well, everyone else is doing it, so.... After the Guinness Book of Records turned down my attempt to get an entry as the only person in the world not to have a Podcast during the Covid-19 Lockdown, I decided that I had better bite the bullet and join in, So, here I interview Ben McKenna, CEO of Web Consultancy Totaal, and founder of Solidartech, a Community Interest Company which helps asylum seekers and refugees to get access to technology. Here we talk about the difficulties of making a living while doing something with a social purpose, why you shouldn't throw your old tech away (someone can always find a purpose for it), and what you can do to help someone who needs a bit of help in getting a computer. Hope you enjoy it.</p> <p>Find out more about Solidartech at <a href="http://www.solidartech.com">http://www.solidartech.com</a> including how to donate a machine that could help a refugee.</p> <p>========================================================================</p> <p>I was diagnosed with cancer in February 2020 see <a href="https://johnpopham.wordpress.com/2020/03/06/practice-what-you-preach-sub-title-ive-got-cancer/">here</a></p> <p>There are a small amount of lovely people who have been providing me with some financial assistance to help me get through this situation, which is obviously made worse by the current pandemic. I won’t say who they are because I am not sure they want me to publicise it; but I am extremely grateful.</p> <p>If you feel like helping me out in any way, please <a href="https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&amp;fs=1&amp;tf=1&amp;[email protected]" target="_blank">get in touch</a> or you can support me on a regular basis via <a href="https://www.patreon.com/johnpopham">Patreon</a> or as a one-off <a href="http://www.paypal.me/civicstories">here</a>.</p> <p>Thanks for listening. I hope to see you all again when this is all over.&nbsp;</p>
