Almost There

A podcast about what it takes to make transformational change.

Approach

In the new season of Almost There, poet, activist, and lawyer Dwayne Betts explores how a person’s home—their geography, their community, their place—can be a source of power and inspiration. He talks to local leaders who are trying to change their communities for the better: A faith leader in Chicago fighting gun violence and disinvestment. A bookstore owner in Salt Lake City ensuring that everyone can find the one book that will change their life. A farmer and longtime food access activist in upstate New York helping farmers earn a living by providing food for neighborhoods in need in New York City.
