Season 2 of the Which? Investigates podcast explores the growing world of technology and the risks that come with it.
As tech gets ‘smarter’ and more integral to our day to day lives, it’s more important than ever to choose what we use carefully, and take into account the increasing risks to our privacy and safety.
Following on from the chart-topping first season putting claims of ‘sustainability’ under the spotlight, the second season of our podcast delves deeper into the world of technology and security, from the hackable smart home and digital money, to connected cars and the impact of fake online reviews.
Join science journalist and producer Greg Foot and our own Which? experts as we discuss whether these technologies and platforms are really doing enough to keep us safe, and how we can all be safer online.

Episode 1: How hackable is your home?
We start our new season with a look at whether the smart devices more of us are installing in our homes could give hackers easy access to our private lives and our data.
Host and Producer Greg Foot speaks to experts and Which? journalists to discover how vulnerable we really are, and quickly learns that any connected device could leave your home open to cyber attack – from your TV, to your doorbell, your printer, and even a baby monitor.
Greg asks, if a casino across the Atlantic was hacked through a smart fish tank, should we be worried about our own smart devices at home, and what changes can we make to get the most from our tech but ensure we’re protected?
