Show notes

The FT’s John Thornhill speaks to Audrey Tang, former Taiwanese minister of digital affairs, and Matthew Rycroft, a former UK civil servant, about how technology can be used to facilitate participatory democracy — giving citizens a greater role in proposing and drafting laws. Could Taiwan’s success be repeated elsewhere? Recorded live at the FT Weekend Festival.


Tech Tonic is produced by Edwin Lane, the executive producer is Topher Forhecz. Sound design by Breen Turner and Sam Giovinco. Flo Phillips is the FT’s head of audio.
