It was a huge year for tech in 2025, and there were a few stories that hooked our attention more than others.
The introduction of the social media ban, and the slow tease of details across the year about its implementation took up a significant chunk of our focus, while AI being embedded (to varying degrees of success) into absolutely everything meant that it was also impossible to escape.
Join us to look back on the year that was, and attempt to predict the workings of the weird and wonderful world of tech in 2026.
GUESTS:
- Cam Wilson, associate editor of Crikey and editor of the Sizzle newsletter
- Jennifer Dudley-Nicholson, future economies reporter for the Australian Associated Press
