A Song For Main Street
Rural and Urban America are growing farther apart, and it's not healthy. In his hour-long podcast, songwriter, history teacher, and guitarist Joel Underwood spends a week in a small town, researches its history, interviews a resident, records the sounds, and at the end of it all, writes a song. Along the way, he demonstrates that our hopes are similar, our fears are common, and there's a great deal that's slipping away.
