Has the world of commerce encroached irrevocably on our civic spaces, and how much do we care?

Civic Workshop is asking that question and looking at ways to reframe our everyday local experiences with an awareness of our collective social and political future.

A key part of Civic Workshop is the new Civic Radio. We are hoping to cover a lot of their output here on Pod Academy – take a listen to this first podcast in which Jo Barratt talks to writer and urbanist Adam Greenfield @agpublic about a new vision for the civic.  How much is civic exclusion growing because of what participation demands or expects of us?

Civic Radio will be on the road, seeking out the people and organisations that are exploring these topics in different ways.
