We're back with episode 2 of the new season of The Sifted Podcast. Cursed by the audio gods, this was a second, DIY attempt at recording the podcast after a studio malfunction, so we apologise for the slightly suboptimal quality this episode (next time will be better, we promise). We didn't want to stop that from sharing some of what's been going on at Sifted this week, including discussion of how our women-led newsroom thinks about diversity, the European startups trying to end Europe's reliance on Russian fossil fuels, and human stories from the tech community in Ukraine.
