Human Powered
A podcast from Wisconsin Humanities, because being human is a shared experience, and we are here to explore it together. In season three, we are celebrating the people who make Wisconsin home. For ten years, our Love Wisconsin producers have been excavating beneath the surface of our state by talking with people and sharing what we learn, one story at a time. In this series, Love Wisconsin producer Jen Rubin reconnects with some of these people who generously shared their stories to offer nuance, delight, and complexity to our understanding of what it means to be a Wisconsinite.
In our first season, we went out to communities around the state to learn more about how our neighborhoods and lives are impacted by small but meaningful local projects — like getting hands dirty at community gardens in Green Bay, revitalizing history around a cooking fire on the Red Cliff Reservation, and collecting stories in small towns impacted by historic floods. Hosted by Jimmy Gutierrez and produced by Field Noise Soundworks.
Humanity Unlocked, the second season of Human Powered, is a series of six episodes about the power of the humanities in Wisconsin prisons. From a storytelling workshop at Oak Hill Correctional Facility to a poetry workshop with people who were formerly incarcerated to a conversation with writers and editors of prison newspapers, we explored the importance of finding tools for deeper understanding. Hosted by Dasha Kelly Hamilton and Adam Carr; produced by Field Noise Soundworks.

I'm Jimmy Gutierrez, host of the new podcast called Human Powered. In our first season, we are traveling around the state to hear stories of real people that will answer the question, How do people make places better?
Arijit Sen:The fundamental belief that we work on is, conversations produce action. We talk to act, and we act when we talk.
Jimmy Gutierrez:We'll discover the power of deep listening
Caroline Gottschalk Druschke:To try to understand a landscape or a process on a landscape, like flooding in the Driftless, you cant understand how thats working without the stories that people tell about their lives.
Jimmy Gutierrez:And hear from people who call Wisconsin home.
Rachel Monaco-Wilcox:We always bring other people alongside us on our journeys. You know, to be born into this world is hopefully to be loved.
Jimmy Gutierrez:Human Powered explores how big ideas and everyday people are coming together for extraordinary change, all throughout Wisconsin.
