Open Makers (archived)
Open Makers is an archived podcast of Open Channels FM Network. It was about the mindset and the work of making things in and around the open web. We talked about the process, the choices, and the thinking behind it, the wins, the setbacks, and what was learned along the way. It was less about any one project, more about what it actually takes to build something and keep at it.
