Following up on part one of our interview, Hugh McGuire talks about the Atwater Digital Literacy Project (Check out their great new blog), which provides communities in Montreal with media access and training.

He also offers his thoughts on the state of podcasting as a “democratizing” medium - where it’s come from and where it’s going.

This is the second part of our four-part series of interviews on Podcasting in the Public Interest. The series is made up of interviews I recorded at Podcamp 2007 in Toronto.
