The DesignSpark Podcast - Let’s make technology funny again!

We are delighted to announce that our 5-star rated comedy-tech podcast is returning to make technology funny again.

From professional engineers to amateur tinkerers, anyone can talk about technology as being exciting and inspiring…but what about funny? Thanks to DesignSpark’s debut podcast - History Makers - launched in 2018, tech expert Dr Lucy Rogers and award-winning comedians Bec Hill and Harriet Braine showed the world just how to find the humorous side of everything from Artificial Intelligence to 3D manufacturing, garnering rave reviews and a Top 5 placing in the iTunes Technology chart.TechLOLogy1_e3eaaa3ea0aaf53f5e655f0b2d3f79a50a9ba625.jpgWith a brand new title for 2019, to reflect its originator, The DesignSpark Podcast will once again feature a mix of fun facts, exuberant stand-up, outlandish sketches and foot-tapping songs to get tech fans giggling with glee.

Whilst History Makers looked back to the past, The DesignSpark Podcast asks the talented trio to consider the past, present and future of the hottest trends in tech. Expect more bonkers characters, gags, banter and facts as Lucy, Bec and Harriet sink their teeth into everything from space travel to nanobots.  

The DesignSpark Podcast 2019 series will be recorded before a live audience at the Rosemary Branch Theatre on the evenings of Tuesday 19th, Wednesday 20th and Saturday 23rd March 2019. Tickets are available now at TicketText. The show will be released on iTunes, Podbean and Spotify shortly afterwards. Please follow @DesignSparkRS for updates.

The DesignSpark Podcast will be produced by an award-winning team from Why did the Chicken? and written by the cast alongside contributions from a range of established and emerging writers.
