4:07 The Sunday Feature: The TED Radio Hour - Giving It Away (NPR/TED)

You can give away almost anything – your time, money, food, your ideas. Giving helps define who we are and helps us connect with others. And thanks to the internet and a rise in social consciousness, there’s been a seismic shift not only in what we’re giving, but how. In this hour, stories from TED speakers who are “giving it away” in new and surprising ways, and the things that happen in return.
