We needed a break from guests after having Geoff Cohen on the show, so we decided to change things up a bit.

Instead, we decided to have a chat about near-death experiences and the responsibility for tech to change the world. It's not as depressing as it sounds. We promise.

o42t has a brand new look-and-feel. We’re definitely not talented enough to have done it ourselves. A huge thank you to our new sponsor Kingly, a small team of incredibly talented interface designers who are working on some really exciting projects. We can't wait to talk about some of the stuff they're working on right now (we're not allowed to yet).

And thanks to team Founded In SA for the beer. Which is the main reason we do this show.

#8: PaaS

This week we sit down with Allan Kent; Head of Digital at Primedia Broadcasting and, far more interestingly, Richard's former boss! We chat agency life, innovation in media, and Star Wars.

We forgot to have any sponsors this week. For which we blame the beer.
 
Show notes:

- You can find Allan on Twitter as @allankent
- Recast is the project Richard currently working on. It'll be launching in a couple of weeks, but let him know if you want a sneak peak :)
