Trust is not lost. It is awaiting a spark. Spark of Trust is an interview show about the people rebuilding trust in our communities, in the institutions we depend on, and in the information we share. One long, honest conversation with someone doing the work: what they're building, what it's costing them, and one thing you can do this week. Not a panel on how bad things are. The numbers are real, the failures get named, and nobody is selling a playbook. No ads, no sponsors. Host Keiron McCammon sits with the people who chose the harder road on principle — founders, researchers, reformers, organizers, technologists — most of them invisible to each other. If that's your work, this is where you find out how much company you have. Proof the work is happening. Language for what you've been feeling. Company for the road. New episodes weekly. Most conversations unfold over two parts, with a companion essay at sparkoftrust.com. Spark of Trust — Igniting the Trust Revolution.
Yuval Noah Harari's central argument that large-scale human cooperation depends on shared fictions and the trust people place in them, makes him a natural voice for a show built around trust. In Sapiens he traced how money, nations, and institutions function only because enough people believe in them, and in Nexus (2024) he extends that lens to information networks and AI, asking which stories still hold societies together and which quietly erode confidence in them. Having him on Spark of Trust gives listeners both a long historical frame for the trust question and a direct read on today's institutional-trust crisis.

🚀 Nomination created: Yuval Noah Harari's Nexus (September 2024) argues that information networks have never guaranteed truth — only self-correcting mechanisms do — which is the exact question Spark of Trust puts to the people building those mechanisms in practice.
