Welcome to the Digitize Fully Charged Podcast – where Scottish humour meets digital transformation.
Hosted by Pam Currie and Niall Ridgway, we’re here to spark real conversations about how technology is shaking up classrooms, schools, and local businesses across Scotland (and beyond).
We don’t do buzzwords for the sake of it – instead, we explore what really matters:
✅ AI in education – from writing dinosaur adventures with Copilot to saving teachers hours each week.
✅ Practical EdTech – the websites, tools, and sound systems (hello, Coomber nostalgia!) that actually get used in real classrooms.
✅ Digital strategy for schools & small businesses – how to make tech work for people, not the other way around.
✅ Human moments – like Niall’s dog Goose barking mid-episode, or guests sharing the sparks that got them started.
All in a friendly, down-to-earth style that makes even the trickiest topics feel accessible.
Whether you’re a teacher looking for digital tools, a small business owner exploring AI, or just someone who loves a good conversation about how tech shapes daily life – you’re in the right place.
