Podcasts

As part of OpenCon 2017's do-a-thon, a group of alumni launched the OpenComm Open Media Network, and created their first podcast episode, What is Open Media? 

OpenCon 2014 brought together some of the greatest young advocates in the Open movement. We took the chance to speak to as many of them as we could in partnership with the OKcast with Alex Fink.

You can find all the podcasts, which are usually less than 15 minutes here.
