Future Mending Radio
Things could be better. Future Mending Radio profiles the people, organizations and businesses that are already building a better future. Clothing swaps, farmers’ markets, pay-it-forward restaurants, independent authors, repair cafes, DIY bike shops, sustainable chocolate shops and more.
Future Mending happens when we meet our daily needs in a way that saves money, improves our wellbeing and also strengthens healthy social systems -- instead of padding the profits margins of giant corporations.
In short, relaxing episodes, we'll seek out alternatives and explore them together.

Matt sits down with Cole Anthony Capilongo, from Hypha Coop, to talk about what it's like to work at a worker coop that does tech consultancy. We talk about how Hypha makes decisions with a flat management structure and some of the projects they're working on -- including technology to verify photos from conflicts and war zones!
We also get a bit philosophical and discuss the relationships between trust, technology and social structures.
If you want to hear Cole's background cameo, it happens in this episode about Danu Social House: https://www.buzzsprout.com/admin/2396702/episodes/16505473-a-bad-time-for-bars-but-a-good-bar-for-the-times
