Episode description

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.

Speaker 1

Okay, let's try this out. Hey, Siri, how do I see? How do I citizens? I didn't get that. Can you try again? How do I citizens? Did you mean citizens bank? Did you mean citizen Kane? Did you mean cinnamon? Siri? I'm trying my best. It's all good. SI. Looks like I have to talk to actual humans to solve human problems. When we see machine learning, let's make it collaborative learning. When we see user experience, let's make it about human experience.

That's poetry because scale is moronic. Honestly, every platform that has built for scale sucks, you know, and you see that in the way that either the people they're suck or the features suck, or both, more often than not both honestly. So open source is not something that's really but understand you didn't see that coming. I just open source is not something that Aliban understand. I mean, that's

that's beautiful. Hi. I'm baritun D host of the show How to Citizen with bartun Day, where we see the word citizen as a verb, not just a legal status. And this season is all about tech. We once thought tech would save the world, Now we fear it may bring about the end time, but we don't have to live in the future we see in Black Mirror. Tech has the potential to bolster our community participation, strengthen our relationships,

and help us flex our collective power. So for season three, I'm talking to people who are building tech that helps give power back to the people. I still believe it's possible to use tech to help us citizen. This season, we're telling a new story about technology and a new story about us. Launching October, listen to How to Citizen with baritun Day on the I Heart Radio app or wherever you get your podcast. Did you mean to acrisy yes, Si, We'll give We'll get to that.
