We In Lewes
The secret of Lewes Delaware is not its beauty, history, or location, but the people who call it home. Join host Kevin McGuiness as he interviews the men and women who have helped shape the character, culture, and charm of what’s been called the best little town in America. If you’re just curious about the fascinating people who live next door or, more globally, how one small city is using its collective creativity, variety, and courage to build hope for the future, our show is for you. And, we promise, no politicians.
