One Billion - Podcast Rankings and reviews

We've all seen those big, societal problems and thought, "How the hell did that happen?" In One Billion, Civilla tells a story about a team who asked themselves that question and then took the courageous steps to find a solution. The content of each episode is masterfully crafted, to the point where you feel like you're watching a movie. The episodes are focused around insightful, moving, and often humorous conversations among the Civilla team and those affected by their project. The honesty in this podcast is refreshing -- they talk about their frustrations and confusions. They also talk about their successes! I was pleased to learn, in the interlude to episode 8, that the team is working on a pilot project in the State of Michigan. Clearly, this podcast is the work of experts and professionals of the highest caliber. Highly recommended!

This is the spunkiest, most heart-filled design studio on the block. They unpack the journey applying for a *huge* grant in an intentional, funny, and thoughtful way. You might say "wait, what? This is a podcast about a grant application?" Yes. It is. And listening to it will make you a better practitioner, designer, and citizen. It just might prompt you to take a big risk to do good yourself.

This small team taking on a huge challenge has charmed and inspired me! I love the way they articulate their nontraditional approaches to problem-solving and the rigor they bring to this kind of design/innovation work.

A must-listen if you care about social innovation, design thinking, nontraditional work culture, inspiring stories, Detroit, and/ or participatory design.

Thumbs up!

The podcast I've been looking for since I first heard of podcasts. Social change, empowerment, theory + practice, grant writing - I love it. This team is inspiring and encouraging, two essential ingredients in the long, winding road to changing the world.
