Michael and Jon sit down with Kath Albury, Professor of Media & Communication at Swinburne University of Technology Melb, an Australian Research Council Future Fellow, and Associate Investigator in the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making.

Michael mentions an episode of Well, Well, Well, which discussed SexTech back in 2020
