About this listen

Finding out what’s going in your area should be one of the internet’s easiest wins. An open goal for the information superhighway. After all, if search engines can’t easily outstrip the parish newsletter and the community bulletin board, then why have we been carrying computers in our pockets for a decade?


In this interview we speak with Professor Stefan White from the Manchester School of Architecture, Dr Jay Stewart from Gendered Intelligence, Rakesh Prashara from Tipping Point, Dr Kim Foale from Geeks For Social Change about PlaceCal’s past successes and the challenges ahead for making non-commercial solutions like these sustainable in the long term.
