About the show

Every piece of technology we use is also using us. All That We Touch looks at familiar tools, systems, and habits and asks, how do they shape us? Hear deeply reported narrative series, interviews, and live recordings on the entangled relationships between technology, society, nature and politics, like: - Wikipedia: A six-part investigation about what shapes the world's biggest encyclopedia, and how to use it better. - Liquid Gold: What happens after we flush? Tracing human waste from taboo to treasure. - NewGenics: The new frontier of embryo testing. What happens when the hope for a healthy child becomes the pressure to choose the best one? All That We Touch is hosted by historian Tamson Pietsch and Matt Ryan from the University of Technology Sydney, and made by the award-winning UTS Impact Studios.
