Why TechTots? we need to talk more about the big changes that tech is bringing for little people

In this episode we'll explain why we think we all need to think more about the big changes that technology is bringing for little people.

While walking around the historic Brunswick Square Gardens in London Alastair and Rob will introduce themselves and will explain why we wanted to start this podcast (and to build Tandem). 

In short, young lives are too important to leave the (real) tech bros. 

We promise a thought-provoking and jargon free intro into the digital lives of toddlers. Please listen, comment and share. 

Produced by Early Ideas Limited, who are building Tandem.

Podcast music by Tibor Miklos.

Babies and toddlers are not just small adults - in conversation with Prof Sam Wass

In this episode, Professor Sam Wass from the Institute for the Science of Early Years discusses how children's brains process information very differently from adults, particularly in noisy environments where they struggle to filter sounds. This ability to focus develops slowly. A key insight is the importance of predictability and rhythm in early learning, which helps young brains form stable patterns. While we learn best with an intermediate level of predictability, young children benefit f...
