Towards a Kinder Public is the podcast of Kinderpublic, an interdisciplinary design consultancy. We are working to create kinder public space: more inclusive, accessible, equitable, and sustainable. Interviewing experts from a variety of roles and backgrounds, from architects, conservationists, equity consultants, scientists, to disability advocates, we discover the meaningful role that each of us can play in the work of making things better. The first step is becoming aware of the experiences of the people around us - this podcast tells those stories. Host and Producer: Cevan Castle. Cover Art: Annie Chen.

Wow
I am so thrilled to have found this podcast. It is deeply thoughtful and opens the space for serious reflection about our personal lives, the community we reside in, and wishes for what the larger communal culture could become.
