Mother and daughter Michelle and Joan MacDonald are using tech to inspire, motivate and to change lives - and they’re focused on a part of the population that has been rather ignored and invisible online - women in their 40s and 50s. But that’s not the most incredible thing about this pair. It was daughter Michelle MacDonald’s own ahead- of-the-curve use of technology for coaching and training older women that helped her mother change her life in the first place - resulting in Joan being dubbed, at 76, the 'Baby Boomer Fitness Influencer'.

The experience has been entirely positive, even though she works in the media where many say it's impossible to be without social media. We talk about the navel-gazing and self absorption that Instagram encourages and how, even in a pandemic, those traits just don't seem to have lessened.

Tim Harford, economist, broadcaster and author, is helping us make sense of the numbers, statistics, graphs and charts that are increasingly overwhelming us on social media. He explains why we need to calm down when we look at them, and he shows us how to distinguish between those who brandish them like weapons to win political arguments, and those who use them to help explain what is going on in the world. The author of eight best-selling books, Tim has spoken at TED, PopTech and the Sydney Opera House. He is an associate member of Nuffield College, Oxford and an honorary fellow of the Royal Statistical Society and was made an OBE for services to improving economic understanding in the New Year honours of 2019.
