# Nontechnical

> Nontechnical is a new media show hosted by Ryan Deng. Every week, one of the most influential people in technology sits down with Ryan for one long evening, filmed like a film, and talks about everything but their work: where they come from, what they love, what they fear, what they got wrong. Filmed worldwide.
