About this listen

Taiwan’s former Digital Minister Audrey Tang and economist Glen Weyl share an infectious techno optimism. In a surprisingly spiritual conversation, they tell us why they want to invite more, not less, technology into the democratic process. We also talk to Bianca Wylie from Digital Public about the limitations of tech as a tool of salvation.


Group Chat is a five-part series. We have new episodes out every Thursday.


Group Chat is funded by the Rideau Hall Foundation and the Flanagan Foundation.
