Season one recap: The conversation continues

What a ride it's been! In this installment, we chat with PA Humanities' Laurie Zierer about her growing passion for podcasts, some favorite moments from season one, and what's coming next.

Cultivating ideas in Erie

A "main street think tank" is bringing people together in Northwestern Pennsylvania, providing a space for deep conversations, community engagement, and growth. The Jefferson Educational Society is also listening, expanding their reach into new towns and neighborhoods.

Can young people embrace history?

They certainly can, whether it's through an innovative, low-tech museum or via oral histories of recent generations. In our latest episode, we talk about how Pennsylvania institutions in Gettysburg and Philadelphia are bringing young people into the process of preserving the past.

If you knew York

You could call York, Pennsylvania a hidden gem. This historic city in the south central region of the state, set amid the rolling hills and small towns of the county of the same name, has a thriving arts community. From downtown galleries to a lively music scene to myriad performance opportunities, this is a place where creative people thrive.  In this episode, we speak Gregory DeCandia, artistic director of DreamWrights Center for Community Arts in York, where he is collecting the stories of 100 locals and transforming those interviews into a play. It’s just one example of how artistic energy can help a place tell its own story, and boost the local community.
