Natural Impact Spotlight: Tiny Spark
Tiny Spark is a great starting point for social innovator podcast newbies. Amy Costello, a hard-hitting journalist who has worked for the BBC, PRI, and PBS television hosts the show. Amy poses crucial questions to guests who offer their first-hand accounts of grappling with the unintended consequences of nonprofits, international aid, and philanthropy.
Amy is no cynic though, her aim is sourcing solutions to global problems by pressing her guests to provide insight into what went wrong and where to go from here.
Listen to Tiny Spark.
