BBC Radio 4 - Olga Koch: OK Computer, Series 1, 4. Privacy

Olga explores privacy, but shhh… it’s private.

Olga and ALGO are back to talk about privacy. And if you want to find out more, you’ll just have to listen because it’s top secret.

Does encryption actually work? Why can’t anyone set a good password? And what do we need privacy for anyway? 

Comedian and Computer Scientist, Olga Koch takes a deep dive into the world of computer science with her trusty virtual assistant Algo as the digital duo take the truths that you hold dear and tear them to shreds using logic, like a teenager on the internet.

A four part stand-up special exploring Nationality, Beauty, Health and Privacy through the eyes of a woman with half a masters degree in the social science of the internet. By applying computer science to the world around her, Olga and Algo take an hilarious and pedantic journey to reveal the inherent absurdities of the modern world.
