Neglected Stories: People, History, Movements, a production of Germantown Community Radio, welcomes writer and urban historian Nathaniel Popkin for a powerful conversation about Philadelphia’s layered history and its resilient communities.
Popkin, known for his deep explorations of the city’s cultural and political landscapes, discusses his acclaimed work The Possible City and other projects that highlight how Philadelphia’s neighborhoods have resisted and adapted to ongoing change. His books—including Finding the Hidden City, The Possible City, The Year of the Return, and Song of the City—have redefined how we view urban transformation. He also co-wrote the Emmy-winning documentary Sisters in Freedom and is the writer of the upcoming series American Experiment: The Struggle for Philadelphia.
A conversation apt for many other urban areas in the United States and around the world.
