A new season of What Could Go Right is just around the corner, and in the meantime, we wanted to share an episode of a podcast that we think you’ll really like – What’s Your Problem.  What’s Your Problem is a show from our friends at Pushkin Industries all about technology and business. Entrepreneurs and engineers talk about the future they’re trying to build – and the problems they have to solve to get there. It’s hosted by Jacob Goldstein, the former host of NPR’s Planet Money, and helps listeners understand the problems really smart people are trying to solve right now. In this episode, Jacob speaks with Val Miftakhov, the founder and CEO of ZeroAvia, about how his company built a plane powered by hydrogen fuel that produces zero carbon emissions. It could be ready for commercial use by 2025 and would revolutionize the way flying impacts the environment.  Find more episodes of What’s Your Problem at https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/whats-your-problem Learn more about your ad choices.

Not too long ago, the Internet was seen as humanity's great hope. Today it feels more like our undoing. We see social media amplifying negative voices and harassment and producing political partisanship and interpersonal dysfunction, and it seems like no one knows to fix it—except maybe these two. Today we're joined by Danielle Keats Citron, a leading expert on information privacy, free speech, and civil rights, and Eli Pariser, co-founder of Upworthy and the author of "The Filter Bubble," who now leads the New_ Public project. Together they share their views on the Internet's current trajectory and how we might course correct. What Could Go Right? is produced by The Progress Network and The Podglomerate.
