Introducing the Ashoka Tech Podcast

As many of you know, I’ve been working at Ashoka this semester starting, hosting, and producing a brand new podcast for them on the intersection of technology and social entrepreneurship.  I’m happy to say that it has officially gone live, and is now listed in the iTunes store!  You can subscribe to the podcast in which I interview social entrepreneurs about how they are changing the world through technology by following this link (which opens iTunes).

Below is the official release about the podcast from Ashoka.  Thanks for checking it out!

We’re excited to announce the very first episode of the AshokaTECH Podcast!  Join Host Alex Budak as he interviews Ashoka Fellows and Changemakers from around the world, discussing the ways in which they are leveraging technology for the social good.  The interviews bring you even closer to inspiring social entrepreneurs  as they discuss their big ideas, best practices for engaging in social enterprise, as well as tips and advice for budding social entrepreneurs.  In bringing you as close to these leaders as possible, make sure to follow Alex on Twitter, @TheBudak, where you’ll have the opportunity to submit questions for future interviews, and transform the podcast into a two-way communication in this cutting-edge field.

The first episode features an interview with Ashoka-Lemelson Fellow, and founder of the World Toilet Organization, Jack Sim.  Jack joined the podcast from Singapore, and discussed the work he is doing to bring attention to sanitation issues worldwide, as well as his personal motto: “live a useful life.”  Along the way, Jack discusses how he mobilized a multinational coalition around sanitation issues, and tells listeners how they can participate in “World Toilet Day, 2009.
