Episode description

In this episode, we hear from Harry Crissy and Tom Beresnyak, who work at Penn State Extension: a science-based educational organization run by Penn State University.


Harry and Tom both played a key role in creating Pennsylvania's broadband map, which President Biden's nominee for FCC Commissioner Gigi Sohn has called one of the best in the country.


We discuss why and how the state made its own broadband map, how it's being used to tackle Pennsylvania's digital divide and what other states can learn from their work.
