Description

*Named one of The New York Times Best Podcasts of 2024* Two journalists stumble into a dying town with a Smog Museum and a mayor named Piglet… and not a whole lot else. They have one burning question: What’s it like to live here, in a town left for dead? They buy a house and stay – for three years. They get caught up in an election cycle and a web of scandals. It’s democracy in action on the smallest scale. It’s Our Town for our time. And it’s all real.

Cement City is an Audacy original in partnership with Cement City Productions.

For more stories on the power of American resilience, check out Seasons 1 and 2 of Hope, Through History, available in this feed. Hope, Through History is an Audacy original in association with Jon Meacham and The HISTORY® Channel.

I need to use FDRs words bc they're mine. I just couldn't organize them as he had but I feel it fits today's needs in this world among so many desperately searching for hope. He found a way to connect and use that power to unite a solution for tomorrow by creating it today. I will find a way to reach every heart for there is where all needs lie. God bless people with hope and courage and the security to safely close there eyes for a moment to acknowledge the power within. Together we can triumph! It has to be believed to cultivate a truth that exists with unyielding faith. Compassion has to be the new tough love. It has to unite all as one not all as each separate group as one but ALL as one, and then it can be done.

Indeed, science is pretty great. It's not a guarantee against error or malice, but it's definitely the best thing going.
