At Firesteel, we test a lot of new media tools as we advocate for an end to homelessness. The purpose of the Spark Change podcast is to share what we’ve learned, and to help other advocates use these tools. Check out our first two podcasts about Google+ Hangouts and SnapApp, and please let us know what you think of Spark Change so far! Your feedback will help shape future episodes.
