Out of Hours: The Podcast

53 episodes - English - Latest episode: 2 months ago -

Welcome to the Out of Hours podcast - the podcast for those creating things that should exist in the world, out of hours.


I’m Georgia Ritter, founder of OutofHours.org, the community for people with side projects.


On this show, I’ll explore the stories of people who have followed their curiosity, been brave, and started a side project, only to turn it into something much bigger than they ever thought possible. I’ll explore the stories of nonprofits, businesses, creative projects and social movements - to understand the practical first steps they took, the doors these small ideas opened and the magic that happens when you start taking your own ideas seriously.
