BONUS: Introducing Policy Crimes
Intro Transcript:
Hi, this is Matt Fullbrook with a bit of a first for this platform. Today, I’m sharing with you a full episode of SOMEONE ELSE’S podcast. It’s called Policy Crimes, and it’s hosted by a dude called Tristan Markle. The first season of Policy Crimes explores the question: what does homelessness cost? Through interviews with some super interesting experts and academics, Tristan discovers that the answer – financially, socially, politically, and more – is waaay more interesting and complex than you might think. But… in my opinion, at least, the complexity points to some important conclusions. I’ll let you explore those for yourself by listening.
The reason Policy Crimes is relevant to the Ground-Up Governance world is that homelessness provides a deep and provocative case study for a constellation of decision failures. Failures that happen in the face of decisive data, unnecessary and extravagant spending, and human suffering. Exactly the types of errors that we hope to avoid through good governance in the boardroom. Have a listen through and see what lessons you can take away.
I should also say that Tristan and I met, and have been close friends since we were 8 years old. We’ve done so much together and know each other so well that it could fill a whole other podcast. Speaking of which, stay tuned to this space because Tristan and I are going to put out an episode of us interviewing each other which will get posted here soon. In the meantime, you can learn more about the work Tristan and his cool team are doing by heading to srocollaborative.org and even doing a super nerdy technical dive on Google Scholar into his past work on cure and vaccine for HIV/AIDS. For now, check out episode 1 of Policy Crimes where Tristan interviews Professor Dennis Culhane from the University of Pennsylvania. If you enjoy the show, please take a second to subscribe and spread the word.
