Why do you care about changing the world? Open Gov Stories is a Global Podcast Series, which goes behind the scenes to explore why social change makers really do the work they do. In each episode, listen to candid interviews between friends and colleagues who have devoted their lives to changing the world. Using the StoryCorps model and app, they share personal origin stories, lessons on how to open up governments, empower citizens and change the world, and their visions for the future. Listen to their stories and add your own. This podcast is a partnership of Open Gov Hub and the Transparency and Accountability Initiative, in collaboration with StoryCorps.
