#71: Roisin Kiberd - A Journey Through the Internet

Roisin Kiberd is an author, journalist and internet traveller. This year her book “The Disconnect: A Personal Journey through the internet” was published to widespread acclaim. We asked her on the podcast to discuss some of the big issues we face collectively with the internet and to learn more about Roisin’s personal relationship with the internet and its impact on her physical and mental health. I feel like I say this almost every week but we truly covered a lot in these 90 mins! I hope it flows somewhat coherently and you enjoy the unplanned yet viral Kanye West detour. Roisin’s enthusiasm made this a real pleasure for Seb and me. Be sure to check out Roisin’s book at all good book stores!
