What If Instead? Podcast
by Miriam Plavin-Masterman, Alejandro Juárez Crawford
A podcast co-hosted by Alejandro Juárez Crawford and Mim Plavin-Masterman.A show about everyday people reimagining the way things work—and tackling the obstacles they face.We explore adventures in democratizing innovation—how the chance to try one’s hand at something new affects people and even organizations, what “powers” they discover and what challenges they face along the way.We dig into access: what determines who gets the chance to try and disrupt the way things work? We examine obstacles in specific industries and communities, and go deep with people working to break through them. We look closely at the role of tech—how it can equip or disempower people to build experiments of their own—and society: what leads us to accept a role as consumers of the way things work, and what it means to discover our powers to ask in practice, “What if instead?”Producer of the What If Instead?
