We’re thrilled to launch the HAPI Podcast as part of the Human Architecture + Planning Institute’s nonprofit mission to improve the design of our built environment through education and research

Hosted by Jo Riddle, the HAPI Podcast “brings urban design, biometric research, and interdisciplinary experts together to create a “HAPI-er” world,” she explains. A multi-talented, audio-visual producer, Jo is also an urban planning grad student at Tufts who has a passion for human-centered design.

In Episode 1, above, Jo speaks with Abigail Sekely, Executive Director of theHapi.org, about the importance of bridging disciplines to better understand design impact; Abigail also describes her personal journey, how childhood curiosity and college connections led her to this emerging field.

Stay tuned: new HAPI podcasts will be released the first Saturday of every month.

Have a question or idea for the show? Reach out to Jo at jo(at)theHapi.org.

We are always looking for collaborators and keen to work with the curious!
