Bicentennial Baby

Event Details

This is a podcast series (debuting May 27) that can be found where ever you listen to podcasts: Apple, Spotify, etc.

Project Description

Former Philadelphia Poet Laureate Yolanda Wisher will interview six other Philadelphians born in 1976 about what it means to be a “Bicentennial Baby," turning a half a century old in 2026. The interviews will invite participants to reflect on the past fifty years of their lives, the changes the city and country have gone through since their birth, and what the future holds. Sound engineer V. Shayne Frederick will combine excerpts from the interviews with music and sound recordings to shape a limited series podcast.
