Very much looking forward to listening to this Podcast! I love Philly centric stories and with all the driving I do for work, I’m going to binge the hell out of this!

I have two questions for you;

  1. Are there any other Philly specific podcasts or stories you’d recommend? I’m currently subscribed to “The Statue” and “Found in Philadelphia”.
  2. What’s your favorite statue/monument in Philadelphia? Or any that are hidden and you want more people to know about?

Thanks for your feedback!

  1. A few Philly-specific podcasts to recommend: City Cast (timely discussions of life and culture), Love + Grit (co-hosted by one of Philly’s best, Laiya St. Clair), Serum (made in Philly, fascinating on public health history), and March On (from our WHYY producer Michaela Winberg!).
  2. I have a few favorite monuments in the city. The Clothespin, the Octavius Catto statue, the Your Move game pieces on MSB, Ellen Phillips Samuel Memorial, are among my favorites. I also appreciate sites of memory like the Boxer’s Trail, the Archives at the William Way LGBT Center, and the President’s House.
