Podcast Overview
<p>Welcome to Luton Geeks Unplugged: Tech Tales & Agile Antics! First up, we (Darren & Jamie) are from Luton - we feel we should put that disclaimer out there from the start.

Across this series we will talk digital change, focus on hot tech trends and meet guests from all different backgrounds to discuss the impact of agile working within their sphere. Also, we will aim to bring some light hearted fun along the way by finding out 'What Grinds' our guests gears and whether they have been to Luton, or even heard of it. So get ready for a geeky adventure that's informative, entertaining (hopefully), and totally unplugged!</p>
