Shiftdisturbers

On the second episode of Shiftdisturbers we’re talking about how to rethink the think tank. There is a growing consensus that the traditional work of think tanks – identifying and studying a topic before making policy recommendations to government - is no longer effective in its current form. If that if the model is to continue, we’re going to need to drastically alter the research and communication strategies that have drive think tanks in the twenty-first century. In this episode You’ll hear from Hana Passen, associate director for the New America Foundation’s National Network, Susan Glasser, editor at Politico and MPI’s very own Institute Director, Roger Martin. Music in this episode: "Steppin'" by Wake; "Siesta" by Jahzzar
