Community Broadband Bits Podcast Will Be Back Next Week
b'Due to illness during the past few weeks, Christopher has been out of commission, in a podcasting sense. He\\u2019s on the upswing now, but we\\u2019ve decided to give him the week off so he can come back strong for the first podcast of 2017.In the mean time, we hope you will expand your ILSR podcast menu and listen in to Christopher\\u2019s other production, the Building Local Power podcast. We recorded episode #8 earlier in December and posted it last week so it\\u2019s still fresh. In the podcast, Christopher interviews Olivia LaVecchia of the Community-Scaled Economies initiative, Karlee Weinmann of the Energy Democracy initiative, and Nick Stumo-Langer, ILSR\\u2019s Communication Manager.They review 2016 happenings and analyze them from a local policy perspective. In addition to the rise of corporate concentration, the four discuss electric utility monopolies, and citizen sponsored initiatives. It\\u2019s an interesting conversation that will introduce you to some of the other work we do here at the Institute for Local Self-Reliance. Check it out.Keep in mind that we want to hear your ideas for the show - e-mail us or leave a comment below.You can download this mp3 file directly from here.
