Hey all, We Are Open Co-op has just released the first three episodes of our new podcast :partying_face:

RSS feed

We’d love it if you could:

  • Share with your networks
  • Give us feedback (the first episode is on Co-operatives!)
  • Come and have a chat with us on a future episode

I’d ask you to ‘like and subscribe’ but I’d be filled with shame and self-loathing if I did so :wink:

I have listened to the first episode and I love it. You’ve both got great podcast voices and the production quality is good so when you mention coops and people that I know and have met (outlandish, Sion Wellans) I feel like some kind of massive insider.

I liked hearing the prehistory of We Are Open and Doug’s angry anti-landlord rant (just kidding).

Anyway, I would like to be a guest on your show whenever you’ll have me. I have a joke about Ashington that I think you’ll like Doug and want to see if Laura gets it.

Yay! First listener who isn’t a member of my family! :wink:

But seriously, thanks for taking the time, and we’d love to have you as a guest. We’ve been setting aside time to record on Tuesday mornings from 09:00 our time. Given @laura is on holiday for three weeks, our next recording session will be June 15th, if you’d like to pencil that in?

Hey all, just a heads-up that @KingMob did end up joining us for Episode 5 of the Tao of WAO podcast, which you can listen to here (and everywhere you get your podcasts):

If you would like to be a guest on a future episode, give @laura or me a shout! :slight_smile:

Hey @dajbelshaw,

I’d love to come on the podcast representing Common Knowledge and my own takes. Really enjoyed this episode and working my way through the backlog. I think hearing people in our movement talk unambigiously about things like how they actually get stuff done is really important!

Let me know if you’d like this. I’m pretty flexible. My email is alex at my coop domain name.

Thanks for having me on Doug and Laura. It’s all a bit meta, because it talks at length about CoTech and this very forum!
