We offer a robust regional news service supported by an award-winning newsroom, home to Billy Penn, PlanPhilly and the WHYY Climate Desk. We are deeply committed to the needs of young people. Many people’s first experience with WHYY is watching our award-winning PBS Kids television programs as a child. We also teach thousands of kids to make videos in 40+ local schools and at our studio. We bring together people in the region for interesting and fun events in person and online. From critical community conversations to advanced screenings with big personalities, keep an eye on WHYY.org/events for things to do all year round.

Anjoli Santiago has always had a conflicted relationship with religion. Church made her feel like she belonged… until it didn’t. Now, she’s seeking a new spirituality that’s inspired by water. So she’s blown away by an image that seems to bring her two spiritualities together: a church, floating on the Delaware River. Hear her story on the Philadelphia Revealed podcast: https://lnkd.in/eJfVpPBR Philadelphia Revealed is an exhibition, a podcast, and a platform for anyone to add their story to Philly history. The exhibition runs July 18 – December 1 at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and features a large, interactive display of over 600 objects from the Atwater Kent Collection at Drexel University. Ten of these objects inspire the First Person Arts storytellers you’ll hear on the podcast.

We're thrilled to introduce our newest podcast, Peak Travel! Travel can do amazing things: broaden horizons, build relationships, and rejuvenate the soul. But often, those experiences come at a cost. Peak Travel unpacks the tourism industry, investigating how travel shapes communities in hot-spots around the world. We’ll share the wonder that comes with exploring new places, as well as the harm that our worst travel habits can cause. And we’ll try to figure out how we can do it better. Hosted by travel reporter Tariro Mzezewa. Episodes drop every Tuesday starting July 23! Listen to the trailer: https://bit.ly/3WsUPuX

Despite receiving record-level funding in recent years, SEPTA lags behind its peers in annual capital investments. While the transportation authority wants to modernize its fleet, it struggles with reduced ridership and its riders regularly have concerns about increased violent crimes and drug use onboard and at stations and stops. How does our region ensure safe, equitable and accessible public transportation for all, while keeping fares affordable and maintaining existing services? Join us for “Transforming Public Transit,” a Bridging Blocks community conversation from WHYY and Free Library of Philadelphia. Register here: https://bit.ly/4cWRFWy
