    Activate This Spot, episode 1

    Activate This Spot takes a look into how we can activate spots that stand no chance in ever being activated. That's quite a challenge. Can we activate the unactivateable? In episode 1, I speak with Akronite Dave Lieberth about how we can activate a dumpster in an alley, surrounded by concrete and brick.
