Season 3: Using Tech to Citizen

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Season three of How To Citizen with Baratunde is all about tech. Launching October 28th, we’re bringing you the people using technology for more than revenue and user growth. They are using it to help us citizen.


We don’t have to live in the futures shown in Terminator, Black Mirror, or Westworld. We can choose a different path. Instead of being used by tech, we can use tech to bolster our community participation, strengthen our relationships, and help us flex our collective power. 


This season brings you those stories.


Follow the show’s Instagram, and visit the website - howtocitizen.com - to learn more about the show’s topics and continue your citizen journey beyond the podcast.
