ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
We always get asked about technology, so we made a series about it. TEC Talks: Behind the Beards is a short-form podcast hosted by Daniel Simmonds and Dwayne Mathers that takes a hands-on look at assistive technology and the real difference it makes. Each episode explores how technology works, who it supports, and how it helps people live more independently, delivered in a relaxed, jargon-free style that brings practical insight and clear discussion to a space often filled with complexity.
