Talking with Tom Steinberg about mySociety and public engagement with Government data

Continuing my ongoing series of Talis-sponsored podcasts, I recently spoke with Tom Steinberg. Tom is Director of mySociety, the not-for-profit organisation behind many of the UK’s most established efforts to increase the transparency and utility of Government information.

Have a listen to hear about some of mySociety’s projects, and to learn Tom’s views on the current rush toward greater access to data.

As usual, links to the resources we discuss are available in show notes on the Talis site.
