The Search for Community with Tony Bacigalupo
In this episode of Community Ties, a NancyOnNorwalk podcast, Jack interviews Tony Bacigalupo, a local community organizer. In 2008, Tony founded New Work City, leading a global movement towards co-working. Ever since then, he's been laser focused on creating community wherever he goes; in the last few years, he's been living in Norwalk and bringing people together here, whether it be through a "New to Town Meetup" or a weekly "Bike Party" as part of Sustainable Streets Norwalk, an urbanist advocacy group. In the conversation, Jack and Tony covered everything from the damaging effect of social media algorithms to the breakdown of our civil society and the loneliness epidemic.
