Around the Block, a community news program from the Block by Block team at WPPM-LP 106.5 FM. On this program we explore issues in the Philadelphia region with voices from the community – with reports from our team of community journalists and live in-studio interviews.
This episode features stories about a symposium commemorating the 100th anniversary of a US court case concerning the teaching of evolution in public schools, how resistance to a Center City arena led a group of young people to create a space in Chinatown focused on arts and activism, information about a measles case reported in Philadelphia, and a conversation with the leader of a local organization that serves LGBTQ+ youth about the impact of anti-trans policies at the federal level, and how to help young people feel supported.
K. Michelle Watson and Meesh Cosares hosted this episode, and Brad Linder was board operator. Special thanks to K. Michelle Watson who helped with planning for the show.
