The Digital State Podcast explores how technology is changing government, public services, defence and society.

Co-hosted by Paul Scully, former UK Minister for Technology and Digital, and Asad Ansari, Managing Partner of Mayfair IT, the podcast brings together senior leaders from government, the civil service, defence, national security, technology and industry for informed conversations about the UK's digital future.

Each episode goes beyond the technology itself to explore the leadership, policy and delivery challenges behind meaningful transformation. Discussions cover artificial intelligence, data, cyber security, digital transformation, defence technology, public sector reform, procurement, innovation, digital skills and emerging technology.

Guests include Ministers and former Ministers, senior civil servants, defence leaders, Chief Digital and Information Officers, technology executives, entrepreneurs, SMEs and leaders from major service integrators.

From how AI could transform the NHS to the future of digital defence, government procurement and the relationship between the public and private sectors, The Digital State Podcast focuses on the practical decisions shaping the next generation of government and public services.

New episodes feature candid conversations, practical lessons and informed perspectives from the people helping shape policy, technology and delivery across the UK.
