Today on the show we have Shane Waring from Dublin City Council and founder of Dublin City BETA - a wonderful initiative that is focused on making Dublin City more liveable through service experimentation. We speak with Shane about the process behind the scenes and what makes this initiative different to typical initiatives in normal Councils and Governments.

We learn more about the background to some of Shanes work and go deeper into what the benefits are for Councils to approach this mindset of rapid service experimentation.
