Talking foreign aid, innovation in Haiti, and introversion

Pangea Last week I talked with Jaclyn Schiff about a handful of topics for her Pangea podcast, “a global affairs show for the digitally connected.” Here’s how Jaclyn described the episode:

While Haiti attracted a lot of media attention in 2010 after a massive earthquake devastated the country, most journalists left in the days and weeks following the immediate destruction.

About two years later—when few outlets had much interest in Haiti—Tate Watkins (@tatewatkins) arrived in the country determined to uncover interesting stories about U.S. aid to Haiti and home-grown technology and innovation.

You can listen to the episode on the Pangea website here, or find the podcast in iTunes here.
