🎙️ How are designers responding to Big Tech design principles, funding models and incentives?
For this last #Season1 episode of #MoralRepairPodcast we talked to @aral about #SmallTech, #colonialism, and how to design tech at a more human scale.

Any specific reason to promote this on #bigtech (Apple Podcast)? 🙃
Luckily I can easily find an listen to it on non-bigtech like #AntennaPodEcho as well:

There’s so much new technology to adapt to these days: automation, AI, holograms… It’s overwhelming! But technologists, philosophers, care practitioners, and theologians can help us navigate these changing waters.On Moral Repair: A Black Exploration of Tech, hosts Annanda Barclay and Keisha McKenzie talk with tech and spiritual leaders. They explore technological innovation and hazard while showcasing practical wisdom from the African continent and diaspora to nurture wellbeing for all.Moral Repair is for people creating, using, and being shaped by tech, wondering about its implications, and questioning what they can do about it.We expand mainstream tech narratives, celebrate profound insight from Black philosophy and culture, and promote technology when it serves the common good. Together, we’ll leave each episode with new ways to think about tech’s impacts and apply practical wisdom to our everyday lives.Starting October 4th, new episodes drop every 1st and 3rd Wednesday—wherever you listen to podcasts.Moral Repair is part of PRX’s Big Questions Project, which supports new podcasts exploring discourse with exemplary thinkers focused on humanity's most profound questions.

@voorstad @mackenzian Because reaching people is important too. As you stated, the important thing is that it is available from multiple sources.
Would you argue that people using Apple devices not being able to hear what was said in this podcast would be a net good?
We have to pick and choose our battles. And use existing infrastructure where it makes sense for the purposes it makes sense for (in this case, disseminating viewpoints folks would otherwise not hear).
I am not arguing this should not be on Apple Podcast.
To me it's just a bit ironic to promote it here solely on BigTech. 😄
@voorstad Thank you for listening and sharing! I usually promote new episodes via the pod.link page and rotate mentions of specific platforms so folks can choose their own adventure: https://pod.link/1708625744
To that point, though, PodLink was recently bought by Spotify and it seems to have since been abandoned. That's a loss to us all, I think. And an example of how small and smaller tech can offer special benefits Big Tech isn't incentivized to.
