What makes a tech scene, and does place still matter if every city can have a tech scene?

Those are the questions we discuss in the latest Technical.ly podcast, featuring Technical.ly reporters from Baltimore, Brooklyn and Philly and editor Chris Wink.

As always, subscribe to our monthly conversation on iTunes here and Stitcher here.

Local mentions include:

  • If local tech scenes need a visionary political leader, do we have one?
  • The impact of accelerators, like DreamIt Ventures and GoodCompany Group, on Philly’s tech scene
  • Does our open data culture fit into “rise of the rest”? Or are other cities following us?
