Francine hears from the makers of two documentaries about the different ways that smart technology is killing us. The director of Death By Design, Sue Williams, reveals the damage that the production and destruction of phones and laptops is doing to the planet. Patrick Shen and Poppy Szkiler discuss In Pursuit Of Silence, which demonstrates how our addiction to technology contributes to the noise and stress of our daily lives, which can have fatal consequences.

The director of Cameraperson, Kirsten Johnson, talks about the impact that filming in war zones and recording victims' harrowing testimonies has had on her personal life.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
