INTERVIEW

In this episode of Catalyst Radio we hear from organizers of the Grand Rapids – focused wiki website viget.org.

George Wietor and Jonathan Pichot talk about how Viget functions as a web gathering place where anyone can contribute knowledge about Grand Rapids, and about what’s new with this city wiki that re-launched in late 2012 with new and updated content.

 

MUSIC

Music featured in this edition of Catalyst Radio is from local band Charles the Osprey. The band is part of the unique Grand Rapids centric features on the city wiki viget.org. Featured is the song “Schimitar Children and their Rugs,” from the 2010 release Consider.

The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community’s support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.

We need your help.

If each of our readers and content creators who values this community platform help support its creation and maintenance, The Rapidian can continue to educate and facilitate a conversation around issues for years to come.
