Microcasts re Flowershow

You're proposing a lightweight content production initiative at Datopian, especially focused on Flower Show and DataHub, to generate visibility and share thinking in progress. The core idea is to record informal, conversational micro-interviews or mini-podcasts, possibly hosted by team members like Yoana or Daniela, to draw out ideas that already exist but haven't been captured or shared. The emphasis is on authenticity and volume over polish, aiming to attract interest, seed community engagement, and make latent knowledge visible.

Ideas for external branding

• Internal Cast: Markdown & More

Questions

• Where to distribute? Datopian YouTube? Flowershow? somewhere else … (probably Datopian youtube and/or Flowershow). May also be able to put out on the substack we started for data collective!
