The podcast “How to Fix the Internet,” produced by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), has recently been selected as a finalist in the prestigious Listener’s Choice competition of the Signal Awards. This nomination is a recognition of the program’s influence and significance in the realm of technology and digital policy, calling on its followers to participate in the voting to support it.
Since its launch, “How to Fix the Internet” has stood out for addressing concerns about the current and future state of modern technologies. In an environment where narratives about mass surveillance and information control are common, the podcast not only points out these issues, but also explores solutions and initiatives for a more promising future based on innovation and cooperation.
Throughout its five seasons, the podcast has featured a diverse range of guests, from celebrities like comedian Marc Maron and creator Adam Savage, to lesser-known experts who play significant roles in the technology field. The topics discussed range from the right to repair to the role of Congress in promoting a more accessible and equitable internet.
One of the standout episodes featured Audrey Tang, former Digital Minister of Taiwan, who discussed democracy as open-source social technology. Other episodes have addressed topics such as the impact of tech companies on communities, misinformation, and the inclusion of people with disabilities in technological development.
The team behind the podcast calls on the audience to vote in the Signal Awards and to continue exploring the vital topics addressed in the program. With gratitude, they especially acknowledge the support of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, which has been essential for the realization of this initiative. The podcast remains a crucial space for critical dialogue and the search for innovative solutions to current challenges in the technology field.
