About Porchtales

Porchtales is a podcast by HumanitiesDC, Washington's humanities council, and an independent affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Each season we work with a guest producer to focus on a historic or cultural topic and dig deeper to learn and celebrate the unique experiences that shape our fascinating city. Whether jogging by the capitol or driving along the California coast, Porchtales listeners get to experience DC through the eyes of those who make up the fabric of our nation's capital. Have an idea or a question, send us a note at programs@humanitiesdc.org *Any views expressed in this podcast do not necessarily reflect those of HumanitiesDC or the project’s funders.

episode A Love Letter to Afro-Latine Youth artwork

A Love Letter to Afro-Latine Youth

There is a common misconception the Latino community started in the 1980s. Afro-Latine experience in the DMV is often ignored and intentionally excluded from its history. Manuel and Angeley aim to complicate that narrative in a riveting conversation about anti-blackness, youth, and why these stereotypes continue to plague our community.

episode Lanier: The Park artwork

Lanier: The Park

At the end of Lanier, there is a park that began as wilderness that was walked by Native Americans. Then it was farmed, and later became home to two burial grounds. In the 1960’s, neighbors took control of the land and made a park. We go to the park in this episode- to Walter Pierce Park.

episode Lanier: Snake Hill artwork

Lanier: Snake Hill

A kid on a bike can go places and discover a neighborhood. Pedaling slow and pushing fast, they have perfect balance and the thrill of floating free down a steep hill known as “Snake Hill.” They feel free and in control. Katie Davis shares stories of a Fix-a-Bicycle summer camp that started on Lanier in July 2000. Did you enjoy this episode of Lanier hosted by HumanitiesDC Presents Porchtales? Tell a friend about it!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
