Democracy Innovators Podcast
The Democracy Innovators Podcast is an independent publication launched in February 2025 by Alessandro Oppo and Carlo Michaelis.
Society is complex, and technology is evolving rapidly. Today, we use technology extensively in governance, and in the future, it will become even more pervasive in the political sphere. This podcast provides a space to discuss these changes, explore possibilities, and ultimately shape the future together.
Our mission is to share insider stories about civic tech by interviewing those working on new forms of participation. We aim to highlight and add value to the incredible projects created by civic hackers.
