We like to call Open Source an American conversation with global attitude, and now with a weekly show on WBUR radio, we’ll add some Boston flavors as well. Drawing on our roots here, we’ll remind you why Boston has been the capital of ideas in America since the heyday of Emerson and Thoreau in the 1840’s.
We’re an independent production company funded by grants, gifts and donations. Please consider becoming an Open Sourcerer. Donate
