We've been nominated for the "People's Voice" Competition
EFF’s “How to Fix the Internet” podcast is coming back soon for a new season – and we’re proud to announce that we’re a nominee for the Webby Awards 29th Annual People's Voice competition! Could you take a minute to vote and help us bring the trophy home?

The Webby has been the leading international award honoring excellence on the internet for almost three decades. As a nominee, "How to Fix the Internet” has been singled out as one of the five best technology podcasts in the world.
"How to Fix the Internet” is not just any tech podcast. We don’t tackle the news. We don’t barrage you with dystopian stories about technology’s impact. We talk to people who are thinking deeply about, envisioning, and building a better digital world. Our evergreen conversations explore creative solutions to some of today’s biggest tech challenges.
Over five seasons we’ve had well-known names like Marc Maron to discuss patent trolls, Adam Savage to discuss the rights to tinker and repair, Dave Eggers to discuss when to set technology aside, and U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-OR, to discuss how Congress can foster an internet that benefits everyone. But we’ve also had lesser-known names who do vital, thought-provoking work—Taiwan’s then-Minister of Digital Affairs Audrey Tang discussed seeing democracy as a kind of open-source social technology, Alice Marwick discussed the spread of conspiracy theories and disinformation, Catherine Bracy discussed getting tech companies to support (not exploit) the communities they call home, and Chancey Fleet discussing the
need to include people with disabilities in every step of tech development and deployment.
We’ve just recorded our first interviews for Season 6, and episodes should start dropping next month! If you like the podcast (or just want to help us out!), please vote in the Webbys competition by April 17!
