Have you ever wished that a band of roving podcasters would visit your community to collect stories of uplift, history, and hope, then broadcast those stories for you and your neighbors in a space right near your block? For months, the Rise of Charm City team did just that in Baltimore’s storied neighborhood of Waverly, one of the city’s hubs of 1960s and ‘70s activism and counterculture. Episode 19, “Rise + Shine Waverly,” was produced in partnership with the local business development initiative, Waverly Main Street, for Neighborhood Lights, an annual community artist-in-residence program produced by Light City, a festival of light, music, and innovation held in downtown Baltimore.

This episode takes us first to Baltimore Penn Station, where we talk to some Amtrak and station employees about the unique features of one of the city’s most vital transportation hubs.
Then, we wander out to the streets around the train station to explore the rapidly redeveloping community of Station North. Appearances by Impact Hub Baltimore co-founders Michelle Geiss and Pres Adams, Nancy by SNAC co-founder Kevin Brown, renowned artist and Baltimore native Larry “Poncho” Brown and many others.
Listen as we explore the question: When it comes to gentrification, who’s propelled forward and who’s left behind?
