On this episode of the Getting Smart Podcast Tom Vander Ark is joined by one of his favorite podcast hosts… Baratunde Thurston, host of the How to Citizen podcast.

Baratunde is an Emmy-nominated host, author of the New York Times bestseller How To Be Black, and creator/host of How To Citizen with Baratunde which Apple named one of its favorite podcasts of 2020. He’s also a founding partner of the new media startup Puck.

He will also be keynoting SXSW EDU alongside his friend Priya Parker, author of The Art of Gathering.

We appreciate the work that Baratunde is doing to shed light on important people, organizations and methods to turn citizen into a verb.
