In this special 21st birthday show we\\u2019re bringing our Digital Planet community together for the first time since 2019. The team has been asking World Service listeners about their favourite bit of tech \\u2013 we hear from around the world about the software and hardware that our listeners can\\u2019t live without. We will also be having not one but two special appearances \\u2013 holograms from Canada and France \\u2013 using the technology that President Zelensky used to beam himself to UN and London Tech week. We\\u2019ll be hearing from the listener who set up our Digital Planet Facebook group back in 2007 and we\\u2019ll also have a multimedia premier of Wiki-Piano that has been collaboratively composed by our listeners.

The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell with expert commentary from Angelica Mair, Bill Thompson and Ghislaine Boddington.
